TeamCity forgotten admin password - where to look?

Question

I need to recover/reset the admin password for JetBrain\'s TeamCity.

I have full RDP access to the server so no problems there. It\'s just been 2 mo

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me.

Shut down server services

> cd c:\TeamCity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib>

then

> ..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar ;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword admin password1 C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\

Without the path at the end, it would fail with:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Table not found in statement [
UPDATE users SET PASSWORD = ? WHERE USERNAME = ? AND REALM IS NULL]
