 Step 1 - Open the terminal program

If you need help doing this then:

 Step 2 - /Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --set_admin_password temp

/Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --reset_admin_user

This will reset your password. This is what you might expect to see:

 Step 3 - Restart your Iguana server

This will restart the IguanaX server from the command line:

/Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --service install

Alternatively right click on this link:

Macos - Stopping and starting Iguana

for instructions on stopping and starting your IguanaX server.

 Step 4 - Login with username 'admin' and new password

When the login prompt comes up you should be able to login with admin and the newly generated password.

 How did this actually work?

Most MacOS users install Iguana in the /Applications folder.

On MacOS when you see a pretty application icon in that folder, it’s actually a hidden directory called IguanaX.app which you can go inside.

The instructions given above meant that we went inside that folder and invoked the program file that is Iguana to change the password to “temp”.
