# Administrator Password Reset

Administrator account passwords can only be reset by invoking the reset command using the FileMage Gateway binary on the virtual machine.

# Windows

1. Connect to the virtual machine using RDP.

2. Open command prompt as a administrator.

3. Run

"C:\Program Files\FileMage\Gateway\reset_password.bat [ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL]

If the file does not exist, you have a older version of the image which does not have the utility script. Instead run the command:

"C:\Program Files\FileMage\Gateway\filemage.exe" -c "C:\ProgramData\FileMage\Gateway\config.yaml" reset [ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL]

# Linux

1. Connect to the virtual maching using SSH.

2. Run

/opt/filemage/reset_password.sh [ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL]

If the file does not exist, you have a older version of the image which does not have the utility script. Instead run the command:

sudo su filemage -s /bin/sh -c "/opt/filemage/bin/gateway -c /etc/filemage/config.yml reset [ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL]"
