I've inherited a Foreman server set up by someone else who didn't deem it necessary to document the admin password for the web interface somewhere. Can I reset the password somehow?

The admin account is stored in the table users of the Foreman database, so you could update the password hash there. However, assuming you have root access to the server itself, there is a simpler way. Run the following command with root privileges to reset the admin account:

foreman-rake permissions:reset

The new credentials are displayed in the console. Make sure to note them down.
