SOLVED UPDATE: I erased the whole "admin-passwd" line in order to set a new one. DON'T keep it empty, erase the whole line!


Hello! As the title of this post says, I don't have the master password of my database, because I can't contact the programmer that installed it. I really need to download a backup.

I tried checking the "odoo-server.conf" file, but "admin_passwd" doesn't have anything, it just has a ; typed.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can reset your odoo master password from the odoo configuration file. Refer this video illustrating the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJlM6jUslxk

Hello Mauricio P. M.,

I understand that the master password is not mentioned in you conf file.

There is one additional file in the system where admin password can be mentioned. Try to find .odoorc file in your system. This should be in your home directory.

In .odoorc file you can find "admin_passwd" key.

You can try below command to open the .odoorc file
nano ~/.odoorc

If the file is not open by this command, try to locate the file manually.
Hope this helps.

Hello Jainesh
What about odoo 15? I can't seem to find any of these.
