TeamCity forgotten admin password - where to look?

Question

I need to recover/reset the admin password for JetBrain\'s TeamCity.

I have full RDP access to the server so no problems there. It\'s just been 2 mo

Answer 1

To change user password:

Shutdown server

Switch to the /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory

Invoke the following command:

Windows platform: java -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword

Unix platform: java -cp server.jar:common-api.jar:commons-codec-1.3.jar:util.jar:hsqldb.jar ChangePassword

You can skip the option, if you are using default path for TeamCity data files: /.BuildServer
