Resetting site password

Help

Resetting site password

Tagged:

The 'Reset password' task is a simple one: it allows you to generate a new one-time login URL for a site.

The one-time login URL is bound to the account of the admin user (uid 1) of a site. It cannot be used to reset the password of another user on the site.

This can be handy in cases where the password for the admin user of a site has been forgotten. The 'Reset password' task is re-runnable and provides a convenient method of re-gaining access to a website from within Aegir.

In normal situations, viewing a site node shows a 'Go to' clickable link that takes the user to the site in question.

When the Reset password task has been run on a site, the 'Go to' link automatically gets changed to become a 'Login to' link that is the one-time login URL.

Once the one-time login URL has been clicked, this link returns to being a 'Go to' link.

The notebook section provides a way for you to store and share information with your group members. With the book feature you can:

  • Add book pages and organize them hierarchically into different books.
  • Attach files to pages to share them with others.
  • Track changes that others have made and revert changes as necessary.
  • Archive books that are no longer of interest to the group. Archived books can be reactivated later if needed.
