Error resetting password
-
I had a NodeBB forum in maintenance mode for a while, and forgot the Admin password
When its in maintenance mode the reset password doesnt work, it half loads the next page. Console log shows these errorsnodebb.min.js?v=odqakt08d1k:5 error loading forum/503 Error: Cannot find module './503'and further failed to load resources, 403 and 503 errors etc.
Why does it do this?
Is there any other way to do a password reset, I still have access to the server login -

I tried all 3 options, none worked.
" ./nodebb user reset <uid> to reset the password (<uid> will be 1 for default admin; the command will auto-generate a password and return it, you can also set your own with -p/--password option"So as admin is user 1, attempting to reset the password to newPassword
./nodebb user reset 1 --password "newPassword"Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading get)
It didnt work! I tried leaving off quotes around "newPassword", which didnt work either.
is it something Im typing wrong. Im bit confused if the -p is alternative to --password (so you use either / or )It did not autogenerate either without any parameter, as says requires --password or --send-reset-email
reset email doesnt work, as although I get email link, the link returns the site closed page!
