Reset admin user password
This is only a quick tip.
But in some cases you need to reset a admin user password i.e. if you imported a dump
as developer and have no admin credentials.
There are two commands for that.
Create a new admin user
$ n98-magerun.phar admin:user:create
Creates a new admin user in interactive mode.
Change password of an existing admin user
You can list all admin users with admin:user:list command and should see a list like this:
$ n98-magerun.phar admin:user:list
+----+----------+----------------------+--------+
| id | username | email | status |
+----+----------+----------------------+--------+
| 1 | admin | [email protected] | active |
+----+----------+----------------------+--------+
Now you can change the password with this command:
$ n98-magerun.phar admin:user:change-password [email protected] "mynewpassword"
Hope this helps you a little bit.

Nice Post, I have been using a shell file to reset password.

Yes. One of the main goals was to reduce the number of single shell scripts.

Maybe a recent change but I’ve had to use the username and not the email address to reset.
