That partly depends on whether you are using AccountManagerPlugin, which has a password reset feature.

If you are using HTTP authentication and htpasswd store or similar, then you will need to access the server and change the password using the command line tools.

i am using the plugin, but it is not working .. i sent the email but do not receive it .. this is strange becauase i always receive emails for tickets ... 

i can see in the database there is an entry in the session_attribute table for my sid, the name is password, and the value is 
TracDbRealm:d9d2c8bb2253515092fd97a190374d74

Is this a hash?

the trac ini file has this: 

[account-manager]
authentication_url = 
db_htdigest_realm = TracDbRealm
force_passwd_change = true
hash_method = HtDigestHashMethod
password_store = SessionStore
persistent_sessions = true
refresh_passwd = False
verify_email = true

ok i figured it out ..create a new user using registration, then go into trac-admin and do 
trac-admin ./ permission add TRAC_ADMIN

then login as the new person ... change the password of the old person you forgot the password for in the admin page

:) 

thanks
