Can't get into admin console

Question

I seem to have blew up the admin user account, password recovery is not working because the server cant send emails. how do I change the password for the admin console? from CLI since I cant get into the web :)

Answer 1

try this command

php bin/magento  admin:user:create --admin-user="test" --admin-password="L3tsPlay$!" --admin-email="info@fodakty.com"  --admin-firstname="Testing" --admin-lastname="Admin"

this will create an admin test user, go in to the admin console with it then you can then reset the password for admin or have a backup admin user called test in case you do this in the future again. good luck, we've all done it in the past :)

Answer 2

You can add an admin user using the CLI with the following command:

php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-user 'adminUserName' --admin-password 'password' --admin-email 'adminemail@email.com' --admin-firstname 'admin-fn' --admin-lastname 'admin-lastname'

Answer 3

It doesn't seem like there's a bin/magento command for resetting an admin password.

Your best chance is to create a new Admin user from the CLI and then use that user to reset the first user's password.

Something like the following should do the trick:

php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-user="admin" --admin-password="password1" --admin-email="admin@example.com" --admin-firstname="Admin" --admin-lastname="Admin"
