How do I reset the password of the admin user of my Odoo database? This is not the Odoo instance admin password (sometimes called "master password"), which is defined in the odoo.conf file.

Preliminary Remark: When you have migrated your database from an earlier version, the ID of your admin user may be different than suggested below. In this case you should check the ID of your admin user directly in the res_users table in your database.


Odoo 8.0:

Change the password directly in the Postgres Database, as it is saved in plain text:

~$  sudo su postgres
~$  psql
postgres=# \connect Your_Database_Name
You are now connected to database "Your_database_Name" as user "postgres"
YOurDatabase_Name=# update res_users set password='YourNewPassword' where id='1';

Odoo 9.0 and Odoo 10.0:

Create a hash and then change the hash in the Postgres database:

~$ python
>>> from passlib.context import CryptContext
>>> print CryptContext(['pbkdf2_sha512']).encrypt('YourNewPassword')
Copy the Hash created
Ctrl D
~$  sudo su postgres
~$  psql
postgres=# \connect Your_Database_Name
You are now connected to database "Your_database_Name" as user "postgres"
YOurDatabase_Name=# UPDATE res_users SET password='', password_crypt='YourCopiedHash' WHERE id=1;
YOurDatabase_Name=# \q

Odoo 11:

Create a hash using Python 3 and change the hash in the Postgres database:

~$ python3
>>> from passlib.context import CryptContext
>>> setpw = CryptContext(schemes=['pbkdf2_sha512'])
>>> setpw.encrypt('YourNewPassword')
Copy the Hash created
Ctrl D
~$  sudo su postgres
~$  psql
postgres=# \connect Your_Database_Name
You are now connected to database "Your_database_Name" as user "postgres"
YOurDatabase_Name=# UPDATE res_users SET password='', password_crypt='YourCopiedHash' WHERE id=1;
YOurDatabase_Name=# \q

Odoo 12 and Odoo 13:

Create a hash using Python 3 and change the hash in the Postgres database:

~$ python3
>>> from passlib.context import CryptContext
>>> setpw = CryptContext(schemes=['pbkdf2_sha512'])
>>> setpw.encrypt('YourNewPassword')
Copy the Hash created
Ctrl D
~$  sudo su postgres
~$  psql
postgres=# \connect Your_Database_Name
You are now connected to database "Your_database_Name" as user "postgres"
YOurDatabase_Name=# UPDATE res_users SET password='YourCopiedHash' WHERE id=2;
YOurDatabase_Name=# \q

Please be aware that since Odoo12 the Primary Key of the admin user has changed. The new ID is 2 (not 1 as in earlier versions) in a new install, if you have migrated your database from an earlier version, it might be even a higher number - please check your res_users table in the database first in this case.

Also there is no separate field "password_crypt" anymore.

@Lima: for me and many others it does work. So you may want to be more specific.

If you want reset password to 1 


sudo -u postgres psql

\connect YOUR_DATABASE

UPDATE res_users SET password='$pbkdf2-sha512$25000$4xwjZEwJgbCWsvaec875nw$eKhXFLBpAWHixi3QaE4/UHVfDLKEFLV5ZG4HFWP2FfctTAi6Jx4pahTQWgnVbqO3yXl9AQgdM8gHksNrbrh8Jg' WHERE id=2;

Here is the best and shortcut way to get the password:

in the terminal:

type: 

1.sudo su postgres

2.psql 

you get like this:postgres=#

3. \connect your_db_name

you get this message:

You are now connected to database "your_db_name" as user "postgres".

4. type UPDATE res_users SET password='new_password' WHERE login = 'your_email';

Now you are set and good to go.

If you don't know your_email login, do the follwinng:

in step 4, just write the following:

your_db_name=# select id, login from res_users;

and you get:

id             login

----------------

1              publice

2              etc

Update december 2024.

If you try to run the python code it will throw with current versions of passlib.

Create a virtual environment, activate it and install passlib:

$ python -m venv .venv
$ . .venv/bin/activate # or something similar on windows
(.venv) $ pip install passlib

then in python3 run:

$ python3
from passlib.hash import pbkdf2_sha512
print(pbkdf2_sha512.hash('YourNewStrongPassword'))

Tested with Odoo 16 still works like a charm

In my case i made all the steps from Ermin, but still not working, to solve the problem i have to reset to null some fields in res_users table in the postgres database. sale_team_id and website_id have to be in null in order to gain access and login. And also be aware than the partner_id point directly to the correct res_partner table field id.

hi, thank you. How different are Odoo 9-10 and Odoo 11 ? Why do you specify two different syntaxes ?


Edit after your comments:

It seems to me the syntax may depend on python2 vs python3, independently from Odoo version.

I run Odoo 11 on python3 of course, but my script which changes the password uses python2 according to first syntax and no bug was reported up to now.

I have just found out when I wanted to use the same syntax as for Odoo 9-10, that this did not work anymore for Odoo 11. After a lot of googling and trial and error, the syntax I have described did work. I was reading the available doc about CryptContext again and again, but I do not understand, why the first syntax ever worked, nor why this syntax did not work anymore nor why the new syntax works, that I have described. But I'm not a developer anyway...I'm just glad I was able to reset the password ;-)

Example: from my understanding of the doc for passlib 1.7.0 I understood that it should be "setpw.hash('YourNewPassword'), but it did not work, and "setpw.encrypt" was just the result of trial and error.

@Dominique: Yes, I'm aware that is depending on the Python version, but I wanted to make it easily understandable without knowing which Python version is used in which Odoo version. On my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server I was not able to run the commands for Python 2 as mentioned for Odoo 9&10, therefore I came up with the separate version for Odoo 11.

However I believe it is important to know how it works with Python 3.
