How to change password of admin / user?

Hi, I want to change the PW of default user admin@blync.cc
How I do I that ?
It does not work to change the “Pass” field in admin -> users

Thanks, Markus

@MarkusF I remember it being quite difficult or more precisely not very intuitive. From memory you have to create the admin user and then make the password request change in the app (and server.properties).

Maybe @Dmitriy could just refresh our memories on the precise procedure.

github.com

blynkkk/blynk-server/blob/master/server/core/src/main/resources/server.properties#L138


#used for fallback page for reset user password, in most cases it should be the same as server.host
#IP is not allowed here, it should be blynk-cloud.com for Blynk app
#or *.blynk.cc for private servers with own apps
restore.host=blynk-cloud.com


product.name=Blynk


#email used for certificate registration, could be omitted in case you already specified it in mail.properties
#contact.email=


#network interface to determine server's current IP.
#only the first characters of the interface's name are needed.
#the default setting eth will use the first ethX interface found (i.e. eth0)
net.interface=eth


#comma separated list of administrator IPs. allow access to admin UI only for those IPs.
#you may set it for 0.0.0.0/0 to allow access for all.
#you may use CIDR notation. For instance, 192.168.0.53/24
allowed.administrator.ips=0.0.0.0/0,::/0


# default admin name and password. that will be created on initial server start

AS you already have admin user you need to remove it from file system.

hi Dmitry

Can you pls explain the steps to change the admin username and password without impacting existing accounts - as its not clear to me and would seem to many others.
admin@blynk.cc works in my current setup even though in my server.properties I have a different admin email and admin pass word setup.

this is what I have - do I assume 7443 should be 9443 ?

#ADMINISTRATION SECTION

admin.rootPath=/admin

#administration https port
administration.https.port=7443
admin.email=xxx@gmail.com
admin.pass=xxxx

First way:

Stop server;
Find admin@...user file and remove it;
Manually open json with user you want to make admin and set “isAdmin” to true.
Start server;

If there is no “isAdmin”=true users admin from server.properties files will be created.

administration.https.port=7443

No longer used.

thanks worked when I changed following json property in my xxx@xxx.com.Blynk.user file from false to true i.e. "isSuperAdmin" : true
