# 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
