Forgot OpenKM password

Hi,

I have done a very silly thing and forgotten the admin password to my openkm setup. I have full admin access to the server (ubuntu), is there any way it can be easily retrieved?

Cheers,
ch

Yes, you got mysql database or default openkm installation with embeded database HSQL ? in case HSQL you must edit a file tomcat/repository/okmdb.script and edit with some text editor:
Looking for INSERT INTO OKM_USER VALUES('okmAdmin','Administrator' and change for INSERT INTO OKM_USER VALUES('okmAdmin','Administrator','21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3','noreply@openkm.com','T the password will be restarted to admin

In case you be on MySQL ( I suggest for production ) then simply change the OKM_USER row value with some mysql client.
