Administrator account password lost¶

Your administrator account is the one you used to activate ResIOT the first time you ran the software.

You can force reset your administrator account password by editing your config.json file.

Windows¶

Open a file explorer window and head to folder:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/ResIOTFiles0

By default, on Windows 10, it's C:\ProgramData\ResIOTFiles0 Just add/edit the fields as follows:

"UPDATE_PASSWORD": true,
"PASSWORD": "[YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD]",

Save all your modifications.

Finally restart the Resiot service by going to the start menu, choosing the Run program and entering

services.msc

Now highlight the ResIOT service and press the Restart button on the left menu.

Now login with your admin account with your new password.

Get into a terminal/ssh window of your server and run the following to start editing your ResIOT configuration file:

sudo nano /opt/resiot/config.json

Now add/edit the following lines:

"UPDATE_PASSWORD": true,
"PASSWORD": "[YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD]",

Save all your modifications and finally restart the Resiot service

sudo service resiot restart

Now login with your admin account with your new password.
