Unable to reset orient-db password

I have recently started learning orient-db but some how forgot the root password I set in the very beginning of installation. Can someone please tell how to reset it. I have googled a lot and looked through the documentation as well but nothing worked.

Solution

  • Server users are stored in the config/orientdb-server-config.xml configuration file, in the element.

      <users>
        <user resources="*" password="{PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256} YOUR PASSWORD" name="root"/>
        <user resources="connect,server.listDatabases,server.dblist" password="{PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256} YOUR PASSWORD" name="guest"/>
    </users>

    If you want to reset the password you have to delete the two lines that i posted above and set to false this parameter:

    <isAfterFirstTime>false</isAfterFirstTime>

    Hope it helps.

    Regards
