Changing admin password to default

Support - Assistance technique
#1

Dear all,
I am setting up a training server for staff and i am using dhis2 live
to achieve the task but i am using one of our database rather than the
default database. I had already used the following query to change the
admin password:

UPDATE users set password = '48e8f1207baef1ef7fe478a57d19f2e5'
where username = 'admin';

What am i doing which is wrong and why i can't login with username:
admin password: district

I see. There has been a change to the password encryption in 2.21, but that should not affect you:
https://www.mail-archive.com/dhis2-devs-core@lists.launchpad.net/msg00345.html

You don’t have the old password to log in as the admin user? Can you see in the database that the admin user has not been removed?

Is there any workaround for this task other than we had done?

Resetting to a default password
#9

Hi Gerald,

You can create a password hash with Python and the Bcrypt library. Run this single command in your terminal to get a hash for passwordGoesHere:

$ python -c ‘import bcrypt; hash = bcrypt.hashpw(“passwordGoesHere”, bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=10, prefix=b"2a")); print(hash);’

You can insert the resulting hash directly into the database for the admin user.

Note: If you do not have the Bcrypt library in your Python installation, you should add it with pip. The following will install all prerequisites on a CentOS 6 system:

$ yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel python-pip

$ pip install --user bcrypt

Before attempting to change the admin user password in the database, visit the front page of a new installation to have DHIS2 generate data in the database for the admin user (you can do something as simple as $ curl -sL http://localhost:8080/). Then, you can enter the following query into the Postgres CLI with the DHIS2 database in use:

UPDATE USERS SET password = ‘001122hashgoeshere221100’ WHERE username = ‘admin’;

Restart the application server (Tomcat) and then you should be able to log in with your new password passwordGoesHere or what you changed it to.

Regards,

Alan

@Alan, nice. ; )

The only other things to be sure about are

  1. The admin user actually exists.

  2. The admin user is not disabled.

  3. The admin user is actually a super user.

If you have had a situation where someone else was in control over the server, they may have (smartly) disabled or completely removed the “admin” user. Otherwise, you may need to develop a more comprehensive script to inject a user into the database if the “admin” user does not exist at all.

Jason

Hi Alan,

Are you saying this will work also for DHIS2 versions up to and including 2.20? Or just for later versions? What is the result for “district”?

For the record: Starting in 2.21 we only accept bcrypt password hashes. Anything else will fail.

Beginning in 2.17 we started hot-swapping every user logging in with the old scheme (md5) to the new one (bcrypt) on login. Even though they work in 2.20 I strongly suggest using bcrypt hashes for this reason as well as the obvious security improvement.

As it seems you’ve experienced, changing the password in the DB at runtime will not work (application memory will hold the old one). If you need to force a password swap you will need to change the password in the db before you start the server.

Dear all,

I am setting up a training server for staff and i am using dhis2 live

to achieve the task but i am using one of our database rather than the

default database. I had already used the following query to change the

admin password:

UPDATE users set password = ‘48e8f1207baef1ef7fe478a57d19f2e5’

where username = ‘admin’;

What am i doing which is wrong and why i can’t login with username:

admin password: district

It should be

from Alan’s code.

Hi Alan,

Are you saying this will work also for DHIS2 versions up to and including 2.20? Or just for later versions? What is the result for “district”?

Hi Gerald,

You can create a password hash with Python and the Bcrypt library. Run this single command in your terminal to get a hash for passwordGoesHere:

$ python -c ‘import bcrypt; hash = bcrypt.hashpw(“passwordGoesHere”, bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=10, prefix=b"2a")); print(hash);’

You can insert the resulting hash directly into the database for the admin user.

Note: If you do not have the Bcrypt library in your Python installation, you should add it with pip. The following will install all prerequisites on a CentOS 6 system:

$ yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel python-pip

$ pip install --user bcrypt

Before attempting to change the admin user password in the database, visit the front page of a new installation to have DHIS2 generate data in the database for the admin user (you can do something as simple as $ curl -sL http://localhost:8080/). Then, you can enter the following query into the Postgres CLI with the DHIS2 database in use:

UPDATE USERS SET password = ‘001122hashgoeshere221100’ WHERE username = ‘admin’;

Restart the application server (Tomcat) and then you should be able to log in with your new password passwordGoesHere or what you changed it to.

Regards,

Alan
