reset user password in gitlab-ce

Use a Rails console

If you know the username, user ID, or email address, you can use the Rails console to reset their password:

1. Open a Rails console. gitlab-rails console
2. Find the user:
   • By username:

• • user = User.find_by_username 'joe'

• • By user ID:

• • user = User.find(123)

• • By email address:

• • user = User.find_by(email: 'joe@example.com')

3. Reset the password by setting a value for user.password and user.password_confirmation. For example, to set a new random password:

1. new_password = ::User.random_password
2. duser.password = new_password
3. user.password_confirmation = new_password
4.  To set a specific value for the new password:

5. new_password = 'examplepassword'

   user.password = new_password

   user.password_confirmation = new_password

6. Optional. Notify the user that an administrator changed their password:user.send_only_admin_changed_your_password_notification!
7. Save the changes:
8. user.save!
9. Exit the console:
10. exit
