HOW TO RESET PASSWORD TO KANBANIK ?

[gus....@gmail.com]

I have an installation of Kanbanik here in my office, the old admin left the job and didn´t leave the password.

How can I reset the password ?

Thanks

Hi,

well, there is no straightforward way, you will need to hack the DB a bit, it goes like this:

1: you will need to connect to the database. If you are using the kanbanik-runtime than in shell go to kanbanik-runtime/mongodb/bin and type:

./mongo

(considering linux, on windows something similar). Assuming you either have access to DB or have the password

This will move you to the mongo shell. The rest of the commands assume you are in the mongo shell.

2: you will need to go to the correct kanbanik DB (the default is kanbanikdb. If some different is used than we can find what are there by typing

show dbs

Find the proper DB (kanbanikdb by default) and type:

use kanbanikdb

3: find the user you want to reset the password. The users are stored in the users collection, so list the user names by:

db.users.find({}, {_id: 1})

4: now the tricky part, you need to change the password and the salt. This are for the password "a". So, if you want to change the password of the "admin" user to "a", use this command:

db.users.update({"_id": "admin"}, {$set: {"password" : "OUo2vqRvwsBHNjSOlvZEiFM7tnJuBJwja/QSa8kFwIAcRabhELOC37Eq61BVlmaFxoq4MqlIs7pHmC4KTNO60A==", "salt" : "mFw1kxwJDWXuGmr5ac4lWQ=="}})

Now you should be able to login properly.

And btw, not sure what version are you using but if older than 1.0 (currently RC3) than you may want to update - this release adds the whole permission system (e.g. you can say what user can see exactly what entities and what can do with them etc.) It is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kanbanik/files/kanbanik-application-1.0.0-RC3.zip/download

Good luck,

Tomas
