Reset the backend password

Introduction

In case of losing your password you can reset your password via database, for this, your still used password will be overwritten. Keep in mind, that all paswords in shopware are saved encrypted.

Changing password

With database

To change your password to "demo", open phpMyAdmin and open the table s_core_auth in your database, here you have to edit the entry for your desired user wit the following data:

 
password: $2y$10$av4vFeRXw8d/f5bEaV.pzu5J4nEsEiaV/mAbxskbtYhf.HfFitMzW
encoder: bcrypt
 

After this, you can login to your shop with the new password.

With SSH/CLI

If you can access your shop with SSH, you can create a new Admin user with the following CLI command:

 
php bin/console sw:admin:create
 

You can find more information about the Shopware CLI here:  Shopware CLI documentation

 
php bin/console sw:admin:create --email=$EMAIL --username=$USERNAME --name=$NAME --locale=$LOCALE --password=$PASS --no-interaction
