Description of my issue

I’ve been locked out of my YunoHost SSH and admin control panel. I didn’t write down the password. How can I reset this? Is there any way to avoid wiping my VPS?

You need to use the rescue console in order to mount the disk and change the root password and the SSH config to allow root login via SSH.

After what, you can change the admin password with:

yunohost tools adminpw
