Metabase Password Reset

1. Stop the running Metabase application.

2. Restart Metabase with reset-password email@example.com, where “email@example.com” is the email associated with the admin account:

CODE

kubectl exec -it -n metabase <pod-name> -- java -jar /app/metabase.jar reset-password email@example.com

3. Metabase will print out a random token as this:

CODE

Resetting password for email@example.com...

OK [[[1_7db2b600-d538-4aeb-b4f7-0cf5b1970d89]]]

4. Start Metabase normally again (without the reset-password option).

5. Navigate to it in your browser using the path /auth/reset_password/:token, where “: token” is the token that was generated from the step above. The full URL should look something as this:

CODE

HTTPS:<FQDN>/metabase/auth/reset_password/1_7db2b600-d538-4aeb-b4f7-0cf5b1970d89

6. You should now see a page where you can input a new password for the admin account.
