Resetting password in BeAdmin panel

If you’ve forgotten your BeAdmin panel password or can’t log in, you can reset it using one of two methods:

• Through the “Reset Password” feature (recommended and easiest).
• Through the server terminal (if SMTP relay is not configured).

Method 1: Using the “Reset Password” Feature

1. Go to the BeAdmin login page.
2. Click the Reset Password button.

3. Enter the email address of the user whose password needs to be reset.

4. A password reset link will be sent to the specified email.
5. Follow the link and set a new password.

Method 2: Reset via Server Terminal (if SMTP relay is not configured)

Connect to the server via SSH. More details: Connecting to VPS or dedicated server via SSH on Windows.

User data in BeAdmin is stored in an SQLite database at:
/var/lib/beadmin/data.sqlite

1. Install the sqlite3 utility (if not already installed):

apt update
apt install sqlite3 -y

2. Generate a hash for the new password (replace Newpass with your desired password):

python3 - <<'EOF'
import bcrypt
pw = b"Newpass"
print(bcrypt.hashpw(pw, bcrypt.gensalt()).decode())
EOF

Example output (your hash will be different):

$2b$12$dM8jH35tJjVgF5os8dvn4.ujXA8cNe8KKFz5/ZdJx4xiWtVX/GS6y

Copy this hash.

3. Connect to the database:

sqlite3 /var/lib/beadmin/data.sqlite

4. Run the update query (replace the hash and email with your own):

UPDATE users
SET password='$2b$12$dM8jH35tJjVgF5os8dvn4.ujXA8cNe8KKFz5/ZdJx4xiWtVX/GS6y'
WHERE email='user@example.com';

5. Exit sqlite3:

.exit

Useful Notes

• After resetting the password via terminal, it’s recommended to change it again in the panel interface to something more convenient.
• If you’re unsure of the user’s email — check it in the database: SELECT email FROM users;.
