Hi, all experts.

I want to reset admin password at grafana.
So, the following command was executed,

grafana-cli --homepath "/usr/local/opt/grafana/share/grafana" admin reset-admin-password "admin"

, and the results were returned.

Admin password changed successfully ✔

I thought the password was set to admin so , I tried to access http://grafana.staged-by-discourse.com with browser but could not.

Hi @daisukemiura,

Welcome to the :grafana: community support forums !!

As per documentation, it says:

Just double-check it again for any missing parameters.

Now, the 2nd observation I noticed that there are no errors from Grafana CLI so the error might be in another place.

It could be for e…g

1- The browser might have old login credentials saved and for that clean the cache and cookies
2- Using some browser password autofill extensions/plugins which need to be updated.
3- Might be behind a LoadBalaner which might have some cached which needs to be restarted to get clean.

Lastly, if everything fails, then you can try to reset the password inside the Database directly using this link.

(NOTE: make sure to take a backup of it before making any manual changes)
