Passwords¶
Admin password reset¶
To reset the password of the admin account use the following command:
MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=<your Mayan media root setting> <installation directory>/bin/mayan-edms.py changepassword admin
If you followed the deploying instructions from the documentation your
MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT
will be /opt/mayan-edms/media
.
If using a Docker image, execute the command inside the container. First you need to know the name of the Docker container running Mayan EDMS on your setup with:
docker ps
Then execute the password reset command inside the Docker container:
docker exec -ti <your docker container name> /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py changepassword admin
Another way to do this is to execute a shell inside the container to get a command prompt:
docker exec -ti <your docker container name> /bin/bash
And then execute the command:
/opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py changepassword admin
Missing automatic admin account after installation¶
This is caused when the initialsetup
command is interrupted as the admin
user is created outside of the database migrations.
To create an admin super user account manually use the command:
MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py createsuperuser
If you followed the deploying instructions from the documentation your
MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT
will be /opt/mayan-edms/media
.
If using a Docker image, execute the command inside the container. First find you container name with:
docker ps
Then execute the command inside the container:
docker exec -ti <your docker container name> /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py createsuperuser
Another way to do this is to execute a shell inside the container to get a command prompt:
docker exec -ti <your docker container name> /bin/bash
And then execute the command:
/opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py createsuperuser
