AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around resetting a Discourse password, particularly for admins. swati_vishnoi asks if password reset functionality is available for admins within the home dashboard, clarifying she is managing a finance community on meta.discourse.org. Goorman initially suggests using the console with rake admin:create but later clarifies that the correct method is via the user interface: clicking the avatar, selecting Preferences, navigating to the Security tab, and using the “Send Password Reset Email” option. swati_vishnoi confirms the solution worked, thanking Goorman for the guidance.
Hi,
Are you talking about this forum or your own website?
I’m not familiar with the Discourse system, just a freshman here 
, but suppose, perhaps, there might be a “reset password” link somewhere in the profile settings?
UPD: Here’s what I’ve just found, take a look:
These are too many jargons for a non techie 
Oh, yeah, I have just opened up a link and see it too
Suppose you would need to follow next instructions:
Personally, I don’t see anything complex with this one, just open a console and type in there rake admin:create, then, as I see it, you would need to type your admin e-mail and type “Y” in order to reset your password and hit the Enter key on your keyboard, after that, you would need to type a new password and confirm it once again.
Hey, please pardon my knowledge on technicality.. but will this help me reset the password for my Discourse community page?
I am unable to find any “reset password” functionality in my current discourse console…
I have recently started a community (on finance) on discourse where i am the Admin…
talkind about that.. yes have started it on meta.discourse.org
From what I’ve understood, you would need to follow the next steps:
- Click on your avatar at the top right corner,
- Click on an user icon at the bottom of your pop-up menu (see screenshot below);
- Click on Preferences menu title,
- Choose “Security” tab in there (see screenshot)
- Press on “Send Password Reset Email” and follow next instructions
If I still didn’t get you right, then I’m sorry
hey thanks a lot, it’s done!!
thanks for your patience too…
No problem!
Glad it helped you
