Hi all,

I'm new at railway. Using the pro plan.

In case I forget or lose my password ,How do I reset it? I used an email signup, and wasn't asked to set a password during signup.

Specifically -I cannot access my n8n instance with no password, and I didn't set any during installation.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Railway does not have account passwords. You login with a link sent to your email, or your connected GitHub account.

So with regards to forgetting or losing your password, railway uses magic link logins so the situation here will be if you lose access to your email. What you can do is link your github and google account as well to make sure you have other ways of logging in.

As for the n8n instance check the environment variables if there is anything like that there, if there is not then try checking the documentation for a default password like admin or how to set a password using the env variable

You'll use a “magic link” login (where they email you a link to sign in). If you ever lose access, just go to the Railway login page, enter your email, and they’ll send you a new link—no password needed.

For your n8n instance, it’s a bit different. By default, n8n doesn’t set a password unless you configure one. If you can’t log in, you’ll need to set the N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER and N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variables in your Railway project’s settings. Set those, redeploy, and you’ll be able to log in with the username and password. I also recommend you set up 2FA for n8n using Google Authenticator or Authy.
