Hi Elmarie,

This is just a partial solution, but hopefully will restore your access to the system. Assuming you have direct access to the database (on the command line or through PgAdmin), you can run the following:

 

update users set password = '48e8f1207baef1ef7fe478a57d19f2e5' where username = 'admin'

 

This should enable you to log in with the default admin/district. But of course you should then proceed to change this password.

Hi all,

 

We have a problem with a database in which we activated the option that passwords must be reset every x months.

 

Suddenly all of the Superusers are getting a message to reset the password which you follow and ‘save’ but saving does not log you into the database. When you go back to the login screen try to log in with the new password it says incorrect password because it evidently did not save the password. When you use the old password you simply get the same message to change your password.

 

The database is on 2.15.

 

We are now effectively logged out of the database – please help!
