Is password reset functionality now available for admins from within the home dashboard?

@swati_vishnoi 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); [image] Click on Preferences menu title, Choose “Security” tab in there (see screenshot) [image] Press on “Send Password Reset Email” and follow next instructions :slight_smile: If I still didn’t get you right, then I’m sorry :frowning:

Hi, Are you talking about this forum or your own website? I’m not familiar with the Discourse system, just a freshman here :slight_smile: , 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: [image] Reset lost admin password Support How can one reset the admin password if it has been lost or forgotten?

These are too many jargons for a non techie :frowning:

Oh, yeah, I have just opened up a link and see it too :frowning: Suppose you would need to follow next instructions: [image] 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.

[image] Sergey: be a “reset password” link somewhere in the profile settings? 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

hey thanks a lot, it’s done!! :slight_smile: thanks for your patience too…

No problem! Glad it helped you :slight_smile:
