Lost password for FusionAuth admin account
-
I accidentally deleted my password for a FusionAuth admin account from my password manager.
But the 'forgot your password?' link on the deployment login page isn't working to send me a password reset email.
How can I regain access to my FusionAuth instance?

If you have an API key configured, you can use the User API to modify a password: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users/
FusionAuth does not have a built in email server, so you need to configure SMTP in order to use the forgot password option. (Of course, you'd need to have set that up before). See the email tab here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/tenants/#email
If you have a FusionAuth cloud account, open a support ticket.
There are no other supported options. You could try to modify your database if you have direct access to that, but this is unsupported.
