Reset Password

If you forget the password from the web interface, there are 2 ways to recover it.

The first way

This method works with Astra version at least 5.64.

Connect to your server via ssh and launch in console:

astra --reset-password

Specify the port on which the astra process is running, the login for which you want to change the password and the new password.
After completion of the script - enter the web interface with the data that you specified when you reset the password. There is no need to restart the Astra process.

Example:

# astra --reset-password
[main] Starting Astra v.5.64 
    Port: 8000
   Login: admin
Password: new-password
request complete.

In this example, the password was reset for an astra running on port 8000. The user admin has been assigned the password new-password.

Second way

This method works with any Astra version

Connect to your server via ssh and launch in console:

sh <(wget -qO- https://cesbo.com/download/astra/scripts/pass.sh)

Confirm password reset. If you have several processes, script asks confirmation for each.
Restart Astra and login to the web interface with default login and password: admin

This script looking running processes with name astra. If you use different process name (eg. renamed binary file), append process name to the end of the command line.

Example:

sh <(wget -qO- https://cesbo.com/download/astra/scripts/pass.sh) a561

where a561 is the name of the Astra process

Example:

sh <(wget -qO- https://cesbo.com/download/astra/scripts/pass.sh)
Reset password to default in /etc/astra/astra.conf [y/N] y
