Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?


So, you've forgotten your password to bonobo git.

Step 1: Get access to the sqlite file, probably called something like  Bonobo.Git.Server.db, sitting in the "wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data" directory.

Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability)

Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like
update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ;

Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.

    Very helpful. Here's what I did:

    `1) I downloaded sqlLite.exe and put it in my downloads folder.
    2) I downloaded my Bonobo.Git.Server.db (make a copy of it on the server just in case) TO THE SAME FOLDER
    3) RUN sqllite.exe
    4) you will have a" sqllite>" prompt
    5) type ".open Bonobo.Git.Server.db" and hit enter
    6) type "update User set Password = UPPER('21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3') where Username = 'admin';" and hit enter

    You username and password will be reset to "admin" and "admin"

    7) Upload/overwrite Bonobo.Git.Server.db on your server (you may have to restart IIS before it will let you copy)
