Hey everyone, Been using rancher for a while and love it. I rebuilt my infrastructure late the other night and I’ve encountered an issue… I’ve forgotten my password! I have tried to modify the cattle MYSQL database with a different sha256 hash to try and ‘reset’ the password but this has failed. Does anyone know how I could possibly reset my password? I do have an API key saved if that helps. Thanks in Advance 🙂 Also I’m running rancher server imnage 0.56.1 (latest) ---

What password are you talking about? To get into Rancher? Does this help?

@denise this was the web GUI password. I’ve now successfully been able to get in 😄 Thank you very much. Definitely bookmarked that page now ⭐
