Learn how to use a handy tool to help you reset it with a tutorial from Jack Wallen. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id>\n<p>[embedded content]<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve forgotten your Portainer admin password, you won\u2019t have to redeploy the platform because there\u2019s a handy tool to help you reset it. The tool in question comes by way of a Docker container, created by Portainer, for this very task. Let me show you how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you must do is stop the running container. Log into your server, and locate the Portainer ID with the command:<\/p>\n<pre>docker ps.<\/pre>\n<p>You should see a listing for Portainer with an associated ID. Stop that container with:<\/p>\n<pre>docker stop ID<\/pre>\n<p>Where ID is the first four characters of the Portainer ID.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you must pull the image designed to reset the password with the command:<\/p>\n<pre>docker pull portainer\/helper-reset-password<\/pre>\n<p>Once the image has pulled, reset the password with the command:<\/p>\n<pre>docker run --rm -v portainer_data:\/data portainer\/helper-reset-password<\/pre>\n<p>After the command completes, you\u2019ll see in the output a new password to use for the admin login. Copy that password and restart the Portainer container with:<\/p>\n<pre>docker start ID<\/pre>\n<p>Where ID is the first four digits of the container ID.<\/p>\n<p>Paste the copied password into the Portainer prompt, and you\u2019re good to go. You can change the password back to whatever you need by clicking your profile icon | My Account and then resetting it as needed.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Subscribe to TechRepublic\u2019s <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCKyMiy1zmJ7aZ8aP6DLZLIA\"><b><i>How To Make Tech Work on YouTube<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> for all the latest tech advice for business pros from Jack Wallen.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <!-- default newsletter at the end --> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgot your Portainer admin password?
