Change user password

[johnjhufnagle]

Looking to change the password for the root OMERO server user (I believe it is called that?)
i.e. the user created at OMERO server install time...the id I usually use at login to Insight, Importer etc. (since I didn't create any other omero users).

Can't search for user or password on the forum since the terms are too common.

Thank you.
John

Hi, John.

How are you looking to change the password? If you've lost the adminstrator's password, you will need to change it at the DB level:

Code: Select all

$ bin/omero db password
Please enter password for OMERO root user:
Please re-enter password for OMERO root user:
UPDATE password SET hash = 'vvFwuczAmpyoRC0Nsv8FCw==' WHERE experimenter_id = 0;


Otherwise, you can change any user's password after logging into webadmin.

Cheers,
~Josh.
