No more able to access DHIS2 after changing admin password

 

Hello,

After having installed and configured all data elements and data sets with
default admin and password, I changed the default password through the
panel. I'm no more able to access to DHIS2 anymore. The error I'm having is
this one : "Access denied - You are not allowed to view this page" in a
different page from the login page.

I thought the password were mispelled but it is not as if it was this kind
of error. When trying to use the former password for example, the error
message that appears says: "Wrong username or password" in the _same_ login
page. It seems to be something dealing with access rights but I just
changed the password and firstname/lastname.

I searched through the forum database but it didn't seem that this kind of
question has been asked before. Is there a way to reset the default admin
password and rights (through the shell for example) without having to
reinstall DHIS2 ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards
Kader
