Hello, I have had an issue with a user and he is unable to reset his password due to some mail issues. I wanted to reset his password or email from admin section but I don’t find the option. Kindly let me know how to solve this issue. One option is to ask him to create a new account, then I change…

First of all I would be very careful, and also backup your db. ssh into your server cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rails c u = User.find_by_email('email@test.com') u.password='zKRR6vTZKvJAB84V9jdgeydS' u.save! ctrl+d to exit I still think the user should figure out their email issues first…

There is no user interface for an admin to reset a password, but you can through the rails console/database access.
