Access to admin account

Meketeke

I do not have access to the admin user account (who is the only administrator of my forum). When I installed nodebb and everything it generated that user and I don't have his credentials.

Is it possible to give me admin on my new user somehow?

I have tried doing a database query adding the admin group to my user as the admin user has it, but it doesn't work.

db.objects.updateOne(
  { username: 'Meketeke' },
  { $set: { groupTitle: '["administrators"]' } }
)

Get your user id from app.user.uid and then run.

db.objects.insert({
  _key: "group:administrators:members", 
  value: "<replace_by_uid>", 
  score: <replace_by_current_unix_timestamp_in_milliseconds>
});

Then restart nodebb.

There are also two cli commands for this!

./nodebb user make admin <uid> for what you and Baris described - giving an existing user administrative privileges
./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)
