There are several ways to reset the administrator password in Drupal 8:
- Use the "password recovery" feature:
- Go to the login page of your Drupal site
- Click on the "Request new password" link
- Enter your email address and click on the "Submit" button
- Check your email for a message with a link to reset your password
- Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password
- Use Drush (a command-line tool for Drupal):
- Open a terminal window and navigate to the root directory of your Drupal site
- Run the following command to reset your password:
drush user-password --password="newpassword"
- Replace "newpassword" with the desired new password
- Use the MySQL command line:
- Connect to your MySQL database using the MySQL command line
- Run the following SQL command to reset the password:
UPDATE users SET pass = SHA2('newpassword', 512) WHERE uid = 1;
- Replace "newpassword" with the desired new password
- This method will only work if you have access to the MySQL command line and the database.
- Use the Drupal Console:
- Open a terminal window and navigate to the root directory of your Drupal site
- Run the following command to reset your password:
drupal user:password:reset
- Follow the prompts to reset your password
Note: In all the above methods, "newpassword" should be replaced with the desired new password.
