the error i got ‘Invalid username or password’
The correct way to reset the admin password is through the use of grafana-cli as many posters here are suggesting. This thread includes mentions of the --homepath argument to override the home path value. If you use the --homepath flag, as a global option it needs to come first. A full correct example is as follows:
grafana-cli --homepath "/usr/share/grafana" admin reset-admin-password <new password>
Note that the --homepath argument is only needed if you are not in the installation directory.
Documentation can be found here:
I have tried to use grafana cli reset password command but it doesn’t work.
I have found out alternate method to reset grafana password in local.
- Search for grafana.db file in system
- run this command on your terminal
sqlite3 grafana.db - sqlite command prompt will open run below query
delete from user where login='admin'
Thats’s it restart your grafana it will ask you to reset your password.
