Change Password to Alta Web Interface

Password could be changed by administrator. There are two ways to do it: web interface and console wizard.

Web Interface



Administrator can change password for any user by going to Settings > Users, then selecting the user's account and clicking on the action menu to choose the 'Reset Password':

web-reset-password

Console Wizard



You may use console wizard to reset own password. On your server launch next command:

alta reset-password


Wizard ask you next details:

Service Name
User login
New password. Please note that password is not showing in the console on typing

Troubleshooting



If you have any issues with console wizard please check common errors:

Service not found



Service is not started or installed on another server

Permission denied



Service is more privileged than wizard. Launch command with sudo to raise privileges:

sudo alta reset-password


User not found



User with defined name is not found
