How to reset the CouchDB admin password on macOS
Raw
couchdb-reset-password-macos.md

If you want to reset the admin password of your CouchDB database, you just have to edit your configuration file at

/Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/couchdb2-local.ini

and remove the lines immediately after "[admins]". Then, restart CouchDB. Please make sure to create a new admin user for security.

Thanks to Alex Burghardt for his hint at apache/couchdb#1020 (comment)
