I have forgotten my password and can't figure out how can we reset the admin password. I couldn't found anything related in docs and #327 is outdated and not working for v2.

Can you share a guide on how can we update or reset the admin password on v2?

Thanks

I have reset my password with psql query, but this should be done more elegant.

update user_account
set password = '<bcrypt 10 rounds hash>'
where email = '<email address>';

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. It's also possible to reset an admin password by running npm run db:create-admin-user (or docker compose run --rm planka npm run db:create-admin-user if running in Docker) and specifying the email of an existing user.

But yeah, it's not very convenient... We're planning to add a proper password reset feature soon.
