Hi there @ChristopheRoyer21,

Do you have email services connected to the containers in the config? If not, when you enter the email for password reset it will print to the logs of the backend container along with a URL to reset.

If you need another option, you can docker exec into the backend container, and run python manage.py createsuperuser to login to the admin panel. You can then manually change the password for the other user in the admin panel.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

[ChristopheRoyer21]

Thanks for the tips!
Unfortunately, the logs in the backend simply says that it doesn't recognize the email. I tried my two emails and they both didn't work. Is it possible tha I lost everything?

Here is my config?

That's weird, config doesn't seem to be the problem. Are you able to try the method of creating a superuser and doing it in the admin panel?

[ChristopheRoyer21]

Oh actually, I've just found a way to connect! I used he DJANGO username and password I setted inside the config. Seems like they are not relatd to any email so I cannot "retreive" them, unless I look at the configs

[seanmorley15]

Gotcha! By default there is not email on the first account unless one is added. So you were able to log back in?

[ChristopheRoyer21]

Yes I managed to! Glad to here there is no email. I guess I just didn't remember it since it's been so long. Thanks!

[seanmorley15]

Awesome! Glad to hear it's all set now
