One tip - don’t use special characters when reseting your password at the the command line. This is because of problems with command lines in each different operating system will often mean your password choice will not work.
Keep it simple and pick something like “temppass” and change it in the web user interface later.

This will reset the admin password to use the password “temppass”.
Then you will need to restart your Iguana server.
