# How to reset your root password:
Log into your server with root privileges. Then start a Ruby on Rails console.
Start the console with this command:
```
bash
>
gitlab-rails console production
```
Wait until the console has loaded.
There are multiple ways to find your user. You can search for email or username.
```
bash
irb
(
main
)
:001:0> u
=
User.where
(
id
: 1
)
.first
or
user
=
User.find_by
(
email:
'admin@local.host'
)
```
Now you can change your password:
```
bash
>
u.password
=
'secret_pass'
>
u.password_confirmation
=
'secret_pass'
```
It's important that you change both password and password_confirmation to make it work.
Don't forget to save the changes.
```
bash
>
u.save!
```
Exit the console and try to login with your new password.
