admin password

Submitted by krony on Thu, 2006-03-02 08:24

I have some troubles with my admin password...

I have installed ejabberd by the graphical interface, put the admin login and pass.

But, when I want to configure my ejabberd, my login and pass are apparently wrong... I've tried to re-install them many times without any result.

Is-it possible to reset my admin password without doing another re-installation?

Thanks for your help

You can change the password

You can change the password from the Erlang console. Type:

ejabberd_auth:set_password("username", "server", "newpassword").

(don't forget the dot at the end)

Eshell V5.4.13 (abort with ^G)

Is this correct ?
Password change did not reflect anyway ...

The ejabberd_auth command is

The ejabberd_auth command is mean to be used in an Erlang shell attached to the running ejabberd server. Just starting erl and calling that command is not enought, and you get that error.

Another way to change a password is using the WebAdmin. Or also using ejabberdctl.

When the web browser asks you username and password, put the full JID, not only the login name: krony@jabber.example.net

I already asked this four years ago, you can see the comment under this one. Put the Jabber ID, not only the username.

Unfort this is not working

Unfort this is not working for me either. I've installed it on Windows 7 and put in the full JID (admin@localserver) and the password I put in during installation but it keeps saying auth error. No idea why it is the full JID.

EDIT: I ended up installing an older version (2.1.11) that fixed the issue, there may be a problem with the latest version 15.11
