Gitlab reset Password for root

You will need to do the following:

1. SSH into your Droplet where GitLab is installed.

   ssh [your-user]@[your-droplet-ip-address]
   

2. Open the GitLab Rails console. If you installed GitLab via the Omnibus package, you can open the Rails console with:

   sudo gitlab-rails console
   

3. Locate the root user and change the password. Once in the console, enter the following commands:

   user = User.where(id: 1).first
   user.password = 'new-password-here'
   user.password_confirmation = 'new-password-here'
   user.save!
   

4. Exit the Rails console by simply typing:

   exit
   

5. Now, go to your GitLab login page and use root as the username and the new password you just set to log in.
6. If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, and you also lost access to it, you can disable it from the Rails console:

   user = User.where(id: 1).first
   user.two_factor_enabled = false
   user.save!
   

Let me know how it goes!
