Reset password

[doobes]

Greetings all,

After having to reconfigure my Trilium server, it's back running again. Yay.

The plus - > my desktop clients are syncing with it.

The minus -> In the browser version it's rejecting the password I have for it.

How can I reset the password?

Thanks

To reset your Trilium password if you're locked out of the browser version, you'll need to manually edit the database. Open the document.db file from your Trilium data directory using an SQLite client and run these SQL queries to set your password to password (replace 'your_username' as needed):

UPDATE options SET value = 'your_username' WHERE name = 'username';
UPDATE options SET value = '77/twC5O00cuQgNC63VK32qOKKYwj21ev3jZDXoytVU=' WHERE name = 'passwordVerificationSalt';
UPDATE options SET value = '710BMasZCAgibzIc07X4P9Q4TeBd4ONnqJOho+pWcBM=' WHERE name = 'passwordDerivedKeySalt';
UPDATE options SET value = 'Eb8af1/T57b89lCRuS97tPEl4CwxsAWAU7YNJ77oY+s=' WHERE name = 'passwordVerificationHash';
UPDATE options SET value = 'QpC8XoiYYeqHPtHKRtbNxfTHsk+pEBqVBODYp0FkPBa22tlBBKBMigdLu5GNX8Uu' WHERE name = 'encryptedDataKey';

Save/commit the changes, then log in with username 'your_username' and password password. Change your password again from within the app (Options → Change password).

Important: Protected notes are lost and cannot be recovered after a password reset, but unprotected notes remain accessible. If you want to start fresh, you can delete the data directory to create a new database and reset all credentials. If you're running Trilium in Docker, make sure the data directory is owned by uid:gid 1000:1000 to avoid login issues due to permissions.
