Resetting a User Password in Beadmin Panel

If you’ve forgotten your Beadmin panel password or are unable to log in for any reason, you can reset it. This guide will walk you through the steps to safely regain access to your account.

There are two ways to reset your password:

• Using the “Reset Password” feature;
• Via the server terminal.

Resetting a User Password via the “Reset Password” Feature

Go to the panel login screen and click “Reset Password”.

Enter the email address of the user whose password you want to reset.

An email with a password reset link will be sent to the specified address.

Resetting a Password via the Terminal

Connect to your server via SSH.

In Beadmin, user data is stored in a SQLite database located at /var/lib/beadmin/data.sqlite. To make changes, first install sqlite3:

apt install sqlite3 -y

User passwords are stored in an encrypted form. To change a password directly in the database, you first need to generate a hash for the new password. Run the following command:

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

The output will look something like this:

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

Save this output, as you’ll need it to update the database.

Connect to the database:

sqlite3 /var/lib/beadmin/data.sqlite

Update the user’s password with the following command:

UPDATE users
SET password='$2b$12$dM8jH35tJjVgF5os8dvn4.ujXA8cNe8KKFz5/ZdJx4xiWtVX/GS6y'
WHERE email='user_name';

Exit the database:

.exit

The password reset is now complete, and you can log in to the panel using the new password.
