Password reset issue

[dkobelak]

Recently when I updated to latest portainer version I was asked to update the password.. unfortunately, now I completely forgot the new password.. i looked around how to reset it and I am having a problem with the commands.. basically i keep getting a message that the portainer.db is not found when it's trying to reset the password.. i assume it has something to do with the folder location on asustor.. has anyone been able to successfully reset their password? I'm hoping someone can help me with this.. below are the commands I am using

docker container stop PortainerCE

docker run --rm -v portainer_data:/data portainer/helper-reset-password

docker container start PortainerCE


Basically i think the issue is somewhere in the middle line.. i just don't know how to point it to proper folder asustor uses

so i got it figured out in case anyone ever has to go though this on an asustor NAS...

sudo su
(Enter your password to get permissions)

docker container stop PortainerCE
(This stops Portainer)

docker run --rm -v /volume1/Docker/PortainerCE/data:/data portainer/helper-reset-password
(You will will get a new password after running this command)

docker container start PortainerCE
(This starts Portainer)
