Can't access Foreman (Puppet web interface)

Support
#1

Hi,

I am running Foreman alongside Puppet Open Source in a test environment. I
accidently changed the password of the admin user through Foreman and I am
not able to sign in anymore.
I even uninstalled Foreman, Puppet, Puppetmaster and all reinstalled the
packages again but I can still not access it using the default credentials
'admin:changeme'.

So my question is, How can I reset the password of the admin user and where
do I found the stored passwords/users of Foreman. I know it is stored in a
database, probably PostGreSQL, but I have no experience in using databases.
So please tell me the easiest way to access it or just delete the stored
database so I can use the default password again.

Thanks in advance,

Bram

Run "foreman-rake permissions:reset" as root on the Foreman host and it
will reset the admin user's credentials. From there, you can change
other user accounts in Foreman as the admin.
