Lost password for doman first admin

What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
What YunoHost version are you running: I do not know
How are you able to access your server: The webadmin
Are you in a special context or did you perform specific tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: I don’t think so

Describe your issue

I just signed up for my VPS on Hetzner today, installed YunoHost today, attached my domain (rachelthorn net), but when I created my first user for the domain, I forgot to make a note of the password. It was a strrong random password, and I have no way of recalling it, so I cannot log in on my console. Is there some way to reset the first user password?

My console at Hetzner is dominated by a terminal window at the top, and a GUI band with additional information about my server setup at the bottom.
The terminal window reads as follows:

YUNOHOST
Local IP: (my IP)
Local SSL CA X509 fingerprint: (long fingerprint)
SSH fingerprints: (three long fingerprints)

Might be worth trying this.

Hello @RachelT

Can you still log as root?
If so, you can try

yunohost user update your_admin_username --change-password
