Russell,

I believe you can edit the user in CouchDB.  Go to URL similar to this for your install.   http://localhost:5984/_utils/database.html?chef/_design/users/_view/all

I did this once before, and I think if you remove the password for the admin user it will authenticate with the default Chef password.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Good morning,

When I configured the webui I set a complicated password, which I still have.  However for some reason by installation will not let me in now.  I do not know what has happened yet, but suspect it is a configuration thing I have done, but I would like to get into the website.

Please could someone tell me how to reset the admin password?

Thanks in advance, Russell
