Unable to retrieve password using Forgot Password feature while running the DB locally

[akhan85]

Is there a way to recover a password from the database for an account created if the application is running on a local server i.e. without being hosted anywhere. I am currently running a DB instance on my laptop and if I try to use the forgot password feature, I run into the following error:

File path: silsilah/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php

Hi @akhan85, I will try to reproduce it first, thanks for reporting this.

No problem. Let me know if I can add any further details to help reproduce the issue. Thanks.

Hi @akhan85, I have managed reproducing the same error like you did.

In the current condition, this email reset password is depend on password reset email feature, which is built in feature of laravel.

Possible solutions:

If you were host your app in localhost, then I think we can pick one of these options to reset user's password:

1. Direct DB update using this hashed "password" string. We can use this sql script

UPDATE `users` SET `password`='$2y$10$92IXUNpkjO0rOQ5byMi.Ye4oKoEa3Ro9llC/.og/at2.uheWG/igi' WHERE  `id`='{your-user-id}';

2. If we were logged in, and we were the one who have created the user, then we can set (replace) the user's password on user's edit page.

Thank you for your response @nafiesl . So I can't use the second option as it would require that I remember the password in the first place (which I don't) and am able to login. For the first option, can you tell me where to run that script exactly? Thanks again.

For the first option, you can run it on your MySQL client app, for me, I can run it on HeidiSQL, on the Query tab.

Ok so here is what I found on my end. I am using MySQL Workbench client. I had to slightly modify the UPDATE command and use
UPDATE 'table_name'.users instead. So in the case of the screenshot that you have attached it would be UPDATE lv_2017_silsilah.users

I think that I have cleared the password field altogether in the DB. I am guessing I was supposed to find the hashed password string first and it would have been unique to my case? In any case, I still get a 'These credentials do not match our records.' when attempting to log in using a blank entry for password or by using what I think is the old password.
