If you use MySQL or Postgres the SQL command should also work. $ sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db sqlite\> update user set password = '59acf18b94d7eb0694c61e60ce44c110c7a683ac6a8f09580d626f90f4a242000746579358d77dd9e570e83fa24faa88a8a6', salt = 'F3FAxVm33R' where login = 'admin'; sqlite\> .exit The above command sets the password for the username admin. If you changed the username for you…
