Password reset
If a user has forgotten his password he has to contact an administrator who can reset the password in the user management of the app.
If the administrator password is lost it can be reset to the default password via the Collector App Command Line Interface.
On windows, the CLI is installed in the installation directory during installation. It can be executed via the command prompt (cmd):
>"C:\Program Files\iTE-SI\Collector-App\collector-app-cli.exe" reset-admin-passwordIn the Docker container:
docker exec {container-name} /usr/share/collector-app/api/collector-app-cli reset-admin-password
