Reset Default Admin Account
When you install Hub for the first time, you set the login and password for the default administrator account. This account is assigned the System Admin role in the Global project.
If you forget the credentials for the default administrator account, or have inherited an installation that was configured by another administrator, you can reset the login and password for the account to their default values. You can also set the system properties for the default administrator when you restore the account.
You can also use this procedure when two-factor authentication is enabled and the default administrator no longer has access to the authentication app that is paired with the account. Resetting the default administrator account to its default state also disables two-factor authentication.
If you run Hub as Windows service, use the following procedure.
To reset the default administrator account credentials:
Navigate to the
%programdata%\JetBrains\Hub\conf\directory.If the directory already contains the
hub.jvmoptionsfile, open the file.If you have not changed the system properties or JVM options for your server, the directory contains a sample configuration file. The sample configuration file uses the
.distextension and contains a list of default JVM options. Copy thehub.jvmoptions.distfile and save it ashub.jvmoptions.
Add the
-Djetbrains.hub.admin.restore=truesystem property to the configuration file. The configuration file format is described in the file itself.If you want to set any of the system properties for the default administrator account, add them to the file. Add each system property to a new line. For a list of system properties, seeSystem Properties for the Default Admin Account.
-
The default administrator credentials are reset to their default values or the values that are specified in the configuration file.
Log into Hub with the default administrator account.
If needed, change the password for the account.
Delete the
-Djetbrains.hub.admin.restore=truesystem property from the configuration file. Otherwise, the system administrator password is reset every time you restart the Hub service.If you specified additional system properties for the administrator account, remove them as well.
