New container but it have account

[monburan]

Hello,I use portainer-composer for a while, it's very handy . Until I forgot portainer's account password some day last week. I try to remove all containers , all images , and all volumes of portainer-compose ,restart docker and rebuild it , but I failed . the portainer allways have an admin account that I do not know the password . Portainer can't reset admin account , what should I do ?

Hey @monburan,

As you don't have the ability to reset the admin password yet (see portainer/portainer#512), you'll need to wipe out the data folder of Portainer.

How did you start Portainer? Using the docker-compose.yml file? If that's the case, Portainer will persist its data in /opt/portainer/data on your host. You'll need to remove this folder on the host and then restart the stack.

If you still see the login view after that, try to access the Portainer instance in a private navigation tab in your browser (or clear your browser cache).
