I'm not familiar with the n8n template, but from my experience with other databases on Railway, there may be an environment variable containing your password. DO NOT CHANGE IT - but it will have your current password

It doesn't look like the case, no.

I presume the variables you mean would be in this variables section of the n8n primary service. Checking here only has encryption keys and passwords for my PostgreSQL service, but not the password for n8n itself

Googling took me here: https://community.n8n.io/t/reset-admin-password-on-locally-hosted-n8n/48836

Would using the Railway CLI to SSH into your service and running that command be an effective solution?

Huh, don't know, but it sounds promising!

Lemme check rq

Well, I think I did everything correctly:

Installed the Railway CLI

Logged in the CLI into my railway account

Linked the railway CLI instance to the n8n service in my project, using the project ID

Used the command ssh to connect to the n8n service interactive shell

Used the n8n user-management:reset command you found

And... well, it says it did something, but when I tried to enter the n8n service through Railway (like usual, through the browser), its still asking for a email and password which I do not have

I feel like im just missing something obvious here, sorry, haha

does the forgot password button not work?

Unfortunately I’m not going to be much help here, I’m not familiar with n8n. I would suggest asking elsewhere or googling your issue first

ah, no, It says to "contact an admin" since there's no email recovey or things like that

It's alright, you already helped a lot, I have some ideas of what to look up now

Thanks

In what service did you SSH into?

The worker or the other one?

the primary, not the worker

try on the worker

(just guessing here)

worth a try, sure

also try redeploying these two services

after running that command

as a last effort (if you're desperate) I would try accessing the DB and seeing if there's any user related table and deleting the data there

but that could brick everything

Alriiight, redeploying was the last step, yeah

nice!

alright alright, thanks!

fixed the issue, and I got to use CLI, which is always fun

ok now how do I mark this as resolved again...

I will mark this as solved, don't worry about it
