How do I reset my MAAS username/password?

Question

I've set up MAAS but forgot the username and password, how can I reset it?

Answer 1

sudo maas changepassword <user>, where user is the user you want the password changed:

cerdea@capiau:/var/log/maas$ sudo maas changepassword maas-root
Changing password for user 'maas-root' 
Password: 
Password (again): 
Password changed successfully for user 'maas-root'
cerdea@capiau:/var/log/maas$

Of course, you may need to find which user to change the password for:

matsubara@tancho [~]$ sudo maas shell

In [1]: from maasserver.models import User

In [2]: User.objects.all()
Out[2]: [<User: maas-init-node>, <User: admin>]

In [3]: 

Answer 2

in case you're using Ubuntu 14.04Lts with Icehouse the command to use is

maas-region-admin changepassword <user> where user is the user you want the password changed:

$: sudo maas-region-admin changepassword user
Changing password for user 'user'
Password: 
Password (again): 
Password changed successfully for user 'user'
