Hi. Is there a way to recover the original MONGOPASSWORD Variable value?
I thought changing the Variable values for MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME & MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD would change the MongoDB actual root username and password as well, which it didn't.
So now I've lost the original password and can no longer access the DB.
The DB isn't empty and I got no backup in place.
I tried disabling authentication via custom start command with docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --noauth --ipv6 --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0, but I get error initialization failed.

did you change the startcommand?
a year ago
is that how youre doing it
yes, because I lost the root password & am trying to access the MongoDB without authenticating
so i thought of restarting the MongoDB container with authentication disabled
this is original:docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --ipv6 --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0
this is what I tried (disabling authentication):
docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --noauth --ipv6 --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0

can you show the content of the docker-entrypint.sh
or do you know of any way to recover the password or access the MongoDB data?

docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --ipv6 --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0

nevermind im lostr
I changed this value without saving the original, thinking that this overrides MongoDB's internal password, which it didn't

have you tried using the one in the value of MONGOPASSWORD
a year ago
or just making them both the same value

I have replied to your help station post.
Hi. Yes I did indeed log the full MONGO_URL before hiding it. So if I could trace back the logs that would help.
but seems like I can't go back any further than Sep 06
