  • Owncloud Nine: How to reset the admin password

    Well, about ten minutes after installing the new Owncloud Nine we found out that we had typo’d the admin password. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix. Run the following (this worked on Debian with a fresh Owncloud 9 install):

     

    cd /path/to/owncloud

    sudo -u webserveruser php occ user:resetpassword adminaccountname

     

    In our case the command was:

     

    cd /var/www/cloud

    sudo -u www-data php occ user:resetpassword admin

     

    It should prompt you for your password twice:

    Assuming there are no more typos, that’s all done!
