Updating users passwords
Option 1 (if you are using the integrated Postgres database):
You can reset a user's password via the Ansible playbook (make sure to edit the <your-username> and <your-password> part below):
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=<your-username> password=<your-password>' --tags=update-user-password
Note: <your-username> is just a plain username (like john), not your full @<username>:example.com identifier.
You can then log in with that user via Element Web that this playbook has created for you at a URL like this: https://element.example.com/.
Option 2 (if you are using an external Postgres server):
You can manually generate the password hash by using the command-line after SSH-ing to your server (requires that all services have been started):
docker exec -it matrix-synapse /usr/local/bin/hash_password -c /data/homeserver.yaml
and then connecting to the postgres server and executing:
UPDATE users SET password_hash = '<password-hash>' WHERE name = '@someone:example.com';
where <password-hash> is the hash returned by the docker command above.
Option 3:
Use the Synapse User Admin API as described here: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#reset-password
This requires an access token from a server admin account. This method will also log the user out of all of their clients while the other options do not.
If you didn't make your account a server admin when you created it, you can learn how to switch it now by reading about it in Adding/Removing Administrator privileges to an existing Synapse user.
Example:
To set @user:example.com's password to correct_horse_battery_staple you could use this curl command:
curl -XPOST -d '{ "new_password": "correct_horse_battery_staple" }' "https://matrix.example.com/_matrix/client/r0/admin/reset_password/@user:example.com?access_token=MDA...this_is_my_access_token
