How to reset archiva admin password

Reset Archiva Admin Password.md

I don't know how to reset Archiva admin password -.- My work around is to create a new admin by deleting Archiva's user database.

Steps

1. Delete Archiva user database. Don't forget to make a backup.

 mv /archiva-root/data/databases/users /archiva-root/data/databases/users_bak

2. Restart Archiva

/archiva-root/bin/archiva restart

3. Access Archiva web interface and create a new admin.
4. Done!

For the xetusoss/archiva docker image it is slightly different.

 mv /archiva-data/data/databases/users /archiva-data/data/databases/users_backup

2. The restart via bash fails with:

Unable to locate any of the following operational binaries:
  /archiva/bin/./wrapper-linux-x86-64 (Found but not executable.)
  /archiva/bin/./wrapper-linux-x86-32 (Found but not executable.)
  /archiva/bin/./wrapper

Therefor simply restart the container / pod in k8s.
