Hi @ehsab,

you can try this from the console (depending on your OS) supposed you're on the machine you're running Grafana on:

grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password <new password>

I did this just yesterday evening and it worked for me.

Hi and thanks for replying.
Shouldn't that command be issued inside the container? Not on the host where the containers are running?

I'm running this on a ubuntu server if that helps.

Oh, I didn't read that you're running docker.

Maybe this is of help: Reset Grafana password when running in Docker on Raspberry Pi

Yea, i've been trying that aswell. Whatever command i try to execute in the container i get the following error:

root@mqtt:/home/ehsab# docker exec -ti bb34e6ad0df2 grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password admin
failed to create runc console socket: mkdir /tmp/pty359940191: read-only file system: unknown


This is the status atm:

Try logging into the docker container and change the password there:

docker exec -it bb34e6ad0df2 /bin/bash
grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password <new password>
