Wiki: How does one reset the administrator password?

[p-se]

It seems like there's no (documented) way of resetting the administrator password. Could you please describe how to generate a hashed password, so that I'd be able to replace the hash in the database (if that's possible)?

Run the configuration wizard to change the admin password.

node wiki stop
node wiki configure

So that did not work in the latest version; I had to go into PostgreSQL in order to reset my admin password like this:

psql -u wikijs -p wikijsrocks
\c wiki
PREPARE passwordreset (int, text) AS UPDATE users set password=$2 where id = $1;
EXECUTE passwordreset(1, '$2y$12$pVvLBrwZhfIPGI23dcnWduCb8zT304F4RCCDh7MREAJ1k1EBJEfSq');

This will change your password to changeme and you can log in and change it via the admin ui.

once you have change the administrator's password using PostgreSQL as above resetting it in the browser does not work anymore and the passwords lost.
