How to reset your password

To recover your password, fill out the forgot password form with your email address. If an account is discovered, we will email you a link to reset your password.

Local Docker instances without email

If you’re running Baserow locally with Docker and don’t have email configured, the reset link will appear in your container logs instead:

1. Submit the forgot password form with your email address
2. Check your Docker container logs: docker logs [container_name]
3. Search for “reset-password” in the logs to find the reset URL
4. Copy the complete URL and paste it into your browser
5. Create your new password and login with it

Quick search commands:

• Linux/Mac: docker logs [container_name] | grep "reset-password"
• Windows CMD: docker logs [container_name] | findstr "reset-password"
• Windows PowerShell: docker logs [container_name] | Select-String "reset-password"
