Question: I lost my password and got locked out of the Dashboard
Answer:
To recover access another user can recreate your account for the dashboard. Or if you lost all access to the dashboard from all accounts. Do the following steps: (for docker-compose installations)
Verify that you've set default admin user and default admin passwords environment variables into
the docker-compose or .env
files available to it.
SSH to the dashboard container.
Navigate to config directory (by default app/persistent/
)
Delete the users.json
file.
Exit from the container
Restart the container
For Docker:
Shutdown the docker container by running docker-compose down
Restart the container with docker-compose up -d
For kubernetes / helm:
kubectl delete pod -n tungsten-dashboard {pod-name}
When the user file does not exist the Dashboard will recreate the default user for you when it restarts, use this to recover access
