# Manually Resetting a User's Password
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open a shell in your instance's environment and start an interactive Ruby
|
||
|
|
interpreter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
cd ~/live
|
||
|
|
bin/rails c
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the Ruby shell, you are going to load the account record, load the user
|
||
|
|
record for that account, change the password for the User object, and save the
|
||
|
|
User object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
account = Account.find_by(username: 'username')
|
||
|
|
user = User.find_by(account: account)
|
||
|
|
user.password = '[new password]'
|
||
|
|
user.save!
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `save!` call will email the user that their password has been changed, but
|
||
|
|
they won't know their new password. The new password will have to be
|
||
|
|
communicated to the user in some way.
