Administrators also have the same ability as moderators.
|
||||
Note of course that people with access to the server and/or database access can do basically anything without restrictions (including breaking the instance).

## Resetting an administrators password
|
||||
|
||||
Administrators are blocked from the paths of resetting the password by moderators or administrators.
|
||||
However, if your server has email configured you should be able to use the "Forgot password" link on the normal signin dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
If you did not set up email, you will need to kick of this process instead through modifying the database yourself.
|
||||
You will need the user ID whose password should be reset, indicated in the following as `<USERID>`;
|
||||
as well as a random string (a UUID would be recommended) indicated as `<TOKEN>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Replacing the two terms above, run the following SQL query:
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
INSERT INTO "password_reset_request" VALUES ('0000000000', now(), '<TOKEN>', '<USERID>');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that, navigate to `/reset-password/<TOKEN>` on your instance to finish the password reset process.
|
||||
After that you should be able to sign in with the new password you just set.
