Reset UI admin password from command line

[lkjasd]

I need to reset the web UI's admin password. I do have root command line access, so is there a way to do it from there? Previous answers suggest doing `python manage.py changepassword admin`, but this command needs to be given the location of the Django database file and I'm not sure where that is.

Version is TrueNAS 12.0.

the web UI just uses the root account. how are you able to access root if you don't have the root password?

"Reset root password" from the console menu would seem like the obvious choice here.

I suggest, from the gui, from the left menu, open a shell then in the shell, enter /etc/netcli, which will open the shell, one option of whic is to chaqnge password. Good luck.
