lost admin password

[Jenkler]

I use mongodb, here is the solution: // I just wanted to share

// Show collections
show collections
// Find the userid you want to add to the
db.objects.find( { "_key" : "username:uid" } )
// Find members id in administrators group
db.objects.find( { "_key" : "group:administrators:members" } )
// To update, 3 was my userid
db.objects.update( { "_id" : ObjectId("54022b7f60757d4944a05931") }, { "_key" : "group:administrators:members", "members" : [ "1", "2", "3" ] }, { upsert: true }

Slight Update To Jenkler's approach, not sure in which version this changed* but:
modify the key "value" with the array of users you want to give admin permissions to
"value" : [ "1", "2" ]

as opposed to
"members" : ["1","2"]

Note: the ObjectId() used in the first parameter of the update query is the id of the object found from the find query { "_key" : "group:administrators:members" }
If you have rockmongo you may also just edit the result that you find from { "_key" : "group:administrators:members" }

@Alexander-Anderson your are right, updates:

show collections
db.objects.find( { "_key" : "username:uid" } )
db.objects.find( { "_key" : "group:administrators:members" } )
db.objects.update( { "_id" : ObjectId("54022b7f60757d4944a05931") }, { "_key" : "group:administrators:members", "value" : [ "1", "2", "3" ] }, { upsert: true })

@yli-sazze Sweet mother of God, thank you so much for posting this for the Mongo folks!

Sorry about reviving such an old thread but there is a simpler solution to this:

• create a new user
  db.objects.find( {"username" : "newuser"} )
  copy "password" value hash
  db.objects.find( {"username" : "admin"} )
  paste new password in "value"

now you have access to the admin account

Yes... that'd certainly work as well!

@Raydekk Nice update

Always better to make things simple
