Thread: Resetting database password

Resetting database password

Hi admin,

We desperately need assistance to regain access to our DB, TSAOMS Droplet.  Our developer (Fred Omala) has gone AWOL and our clients cannot access our solution.

We humbly request your assistance to reset the database password allowing us to regain control and solve our client's (Tensenses Africa, TSA) challenges.  We are not trading at the moment due to this issue and the situation is becoming dire by the minute.  

I've attached a screenshot of our systems attached to this database.

Please urgently help.

best regards,

munyutu waigi

If local connections are allowed "trust" or "peer" authentication in
pg_hba.conf, log into the database server as user "postgres"
and start "psql".  Then you can use ALTER ROLE to change database
passwords.

If all fails, you'll have to stop the database server and start
it in single user mode (as operating system user "postgres"):

postgres --single -D /your/database/directory postgres

Then you are connected with superuser permissions and can change
passwords.

If all that is too complicated for you, contact a support company.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Hi Munyutu,

Make necessary changes in your pg_hba conf file for local connections to trust authentication and reload this config file.
This will help you to get into the database without  prompting any password. Once logged into the database  change password by using alter  user your_username with password '<user_password>';  command for your particular user.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your response.  We were hacked (48hrs ago) by a Chinese IP address 121.18.238.39

Our developer has resolved the matter.  Thank you again for your response.
