Resetting the FileRun superuser password🔗

Running the following from the command line should give you a new password:

 1cd cron
 2php reset_superuser_pass.php --password newpass

Without --password, a random password is generated and printed by the command.

Important

The password has to be given as the --password option. A plain argument (reset_superuser_pass.php newpass) is ignored, and you get a random password instead.

Resetting the password this way also ends every signed-in session of the superuser account. The app passwords and the connected apps of that account are left alone; consider revoking those too if you think the account was compromised.

If the superuser also lost access to its second authentication factor, see Command line tools for reset_superuser_2fa.php.
