+# Recover your grafana admin password using sqlite shell
+# ---
+
+# One day you can lose your grafana admin password and probably you will desire 
+# to recover it rather than reinstall. If your grafana has been using sqlite as 
+# backend storage, the recover process is easy. Here are the steps to do that:
+#
+#    In your local machine, install the sqlite3 package
+#
+sudo apt-get install sqlite3
+
+
+#  Login into your sql database
+
+sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db
+
+
+#  Reset the admin password using SQL update (the new password will be admin)
+
+sqlite> update user set password = '59acf18b94d7eb0694c61e60ce44c110c7a683ac6a8f09580d626f90f4a242000746579358d77dd9e570e83fa24faa88a8a6', salt = 'F3FAxVm33R' where login = 'admin';
+sqlite> .exit
+
+# ***
+# Now, you could login in your grafana web interface using username: admin and password: admin
+# ***
