< section > < p > So recently I had the need to reset the admin password in < a href = "https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/" > MissKey< / a > .< / p >
< p > Alas, there was no recovery email configured, nor other users on the instance, so I needed to do some digging in the database.< / p >
< p > So here is the short of it.< / p >
< ol >
< li > Log in with your misskey user into postgres (assuming that’ s what you’ re running MissKey on).< / li >
< li > Connect to the database.< / li >
< li > < code > select * from " user" where " isAdmin" = true;< / code > < / li >
< li > Grab the < code > userId< / code > for the user you’ re resetting the password for.< / li >
< li > < code > select * from user_profile where " userId" = 'your-userId';< / code > to confirm that you’ re getting the right info.< / li >
< li > Get the hashed password with < code > bcrypt< / code > , such as:
< code > python -c 'import bcrypt; print(bcrypt.hashpw(" new-password" , bcrypt.gensalt(log_rounds=10)))'< / code > < / li >
< li > < code > UPDATE user_profile SET password = 'hashed-password' WHERE " userId" = 'your-userId';< / code > < / li >
< / ol >
< p > Notes:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Step 6 requires that you have python-bcrypt installed, and uses that library to do its thing.< / li >
< li > There is a difference between single quotes, double quotes, and lowercase/ capitals. This is a quirk of psql, so make sure you get those right.< / li >
< / ul >
< p > And… done.< / p >
