How do I reset my Supabase database password?

This is a copy of a troubleshooting article on Supabase's docs site. It may be missing some details from the original. View the original article.

You can reset your database password from the Database > Settings section of the Dashboard.

Log in to your Supabase account: Go to Supabase and log in.
Open your project: Click on the project where you want to reset the database password.
Go to the Database settings:
Navigate to the Settings tab in the left-hand menu.
Select Database.
Reset the password:
Look for the "Connection String" or "Database Configuration" section.
Click on the "Edit Password" button (if available) or the equivalent option.
Enter a new password and save the changes.
Update connection strings:
After resetting the password, update all applications and services that connect to this database with the new password.

hey folks i really cant find where to reset the database password - the docs seem out of date - for example when i go to supabase and then Database i see; Database Management, Access Control,Platform,Tools
but no Database Settings - there is a main Settings fro the project but no way to see or update the database password there - anybody got any other suggestions?

[GaryAustin1]

@Monty1122 Go to Project Settings tab. Then Database.

Log into your supabase account, and navigate to the project where you want to change the password. In the bottom left, just above your profile image, click on "Project Settings". On the left sidebar menu, under the "Configuration" section, click on "Database". This should display the "Database Settings" under which you will see a "Database password" section with a "Reset database password" button on the right.

Yes... That will open a dialog where you can enter the new password.

[spjhon]

A bit hard to understand what exact problems are referred above by various folks 🙈 It is possible to change the database password in managed Supabase platform - check Database → Settings.

However, it is not possible to change the password in the UI for CLI/local-dev and self-hosted Supabase. For self-hosted, see here - https://supabase.com/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker#changing-database-password

If anyone is experiencing difficulties with resetting database password in managed Supabase - best way to resolve would be via a support ticket.

Hi @aantti, I am running Supabase locally using npx supabase start, but I’m unable to figure out how to change the database password. Is there a way to update the DB password in a local Supabase setup?

[aantti]

I don't think it's going to be easy, @uday770202 :(

For one, it's defined here:

https://github.com/supabase/cli/blob/b3449760723eddbe32281f804dd13212a57b8062/pkg/config/config.go#L344

and then it's populated in the env-vars across all containers that are being started by CLI (you can check via docker inspect).

If you need a unique password, I guess the easiest would be to clone the CLI repo, change the default password in the code, and rebuild for local use (via go build & go install).

If you need to change the password for the existing setup, it's probably possible to use something like we have for self-hosted:

supabase/docker/utils/db-passwd.sh

Line 111 in 7013388

docker compose exec -T "$db_srv_name" psql -U "$db_admin_user" -d "_supabase" -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 <<EOF

You could connect to the Postgres container and run the same. Still, CLI would use the hardcoded password when starting the containers.

Bear in mind, CLI is not meant to be used in a production or open dev/staging/test environment - it should never be exposed to any public traffic. A lot of credentials in CLI are default values and hardcoded. CLI is supposed to be used in an local, isolated, tightly controlled setup only.
