Hello. I have a website made with Kirby (year 2015 more or less) and I cannot access the Control Panel, because nobody has the username or password. The person who made the website did not leave the “forgot your password?” option enabled. I only have access to the FTP where the files are. Is there a way to reset the access data? I need to make changes and I’m desperate with this issue… Thanks in advance.
All users are in the /site/accounts folder. If you still need the users, download them for later reuse. Then enable panel installation in the config file, see panel | Kirby CMS
Then access panel/install on the frontend and create a new admin user.
Once done, remove the config setting again or set it to false.
Step by step to a new admin account / reset the admin-password:
- Make a backup of your entire kirby site.
- Delete the content of
/site/accountsfolder. - Enable panel installation in the config file (true) (see panel | Kirby CMS ).
- Access
yourkirbysite.domain/panel/install. - Create a new Admin-Account for your site.
- Everything went well?
- Disable panel installation in the config file (false) (see panel | Kirby CMS ).
Thanks to @pixelijn for the solution
