Hello,

I changed my WAPT password in the console and since then I haven't been able to log in.

Is there any way to change the lost password?

Or am I going to have to delete everything and reinstall?

Thank you.

As Simon mentioned, during the upgrade, the installer offers to change your password. Alternatively, a short line of Python code should do the trick (retrieved from postconf.py):

Code: Select all

c:\wapt\waptpython.exe -c "from passlib.hash import pbkdf2_sha256 ; print(pbkdf2_sha256.hash('mon_super_mot_de_passe'.encode('utf8')))"
You retrieve the salted hash and replace it in the file c:\wapt\conf\waptserver.ini

Sincerely,

Denis
