I forgot my password, how can I recover it?

You can't recover a forgotten password but if you have access to server you can:

  • Edit <rundir>/db/users.db and provide a valid new hash instead of the forgotten one.
    • Databases are in plain JSON.
    • Flood hashes passwords with Argon2.
  • Delete <rundir>, restart flood, and flood will prompt you to create a new user. Warning all previous accounts will be lost.
