Conspyre Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 After a fresh install, I hit the wrong button on the password manager & lost the (MacOS generated) password for the admin account. Following the instructions here https://resources.antmedia.io/docs/frequently-asked-questions?highlight=reset admin password deleting the server.db file doesn't work, nor does deleting the entire ant media folder and reinstalling. I've also cleaned the filesystem for anything *antmedia* with no luck. How to blow the installation away completely / delete the stored admin credentials so I can use this box for Ant?

0 Burak Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Hi @Conspyre, If you use AMS in cluster mode the credentials are stored in MongoDB (serverdb/user collection), otherwise in server.db. After deleting server.db you should also restart the antmedia service. In the first visit to the dashboard, it will ask for new sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Conspyre Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Solved, though it was very strange, initially it did not work, after leaving the server alone for some time it somehow reset the state. You should have someone look into this. I guarantee that when you delete the server.db file and restart, it does not immediately go into the state of asking to create the first account again… Edited December 2, 2022 by Conspyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
