Forgot my password - Docker

Get Help

Hey guys,
Could you give me some help to recover my password?
I’m using metabase locally using Docker and I’d like to know what is the best way to retrieve the password.

I’ve just searched for my answer here but didn’t find the on the same context as mine.

Hi @raphael
I’m guessing you’re using H2 as the application database.

Copy the database out with docker cp metabase:/metabase.db/metabase.db.mv.db ~/

Then the file is in your computers home directory, then follow:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/faq/using-metabase/how-do-i-reset-my-password.html

When you have access to the system, then migrate away from H2:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/migrating-from-h2.html

And then if you prefer, then you can setup Docker again and use that.
