How unlock my seafile account?

Seafile Server

Hi,
I only have one admin account and it has now been locked, when I’m trying to login I get this error message:
“This account has been frozen due to too many failed login attempts.”

How can I unlock it?

Edit:
I did find reset-admin.sh in the manual but it don’t say if it will delete my liberarys or if it even will work.

Edit:
I can’t belive that it’s nothing about this in the manual, this is something that can happen everyone due to hacker attack etc.

Is it possible to use the reset-admin.sh and still have all my uploaded files? Or 'll they bee deleted? Will the script create a new admin user?

Edit:
Now it says This account is inactive. when I’m trying to login.

I don’t have access to my server until later, but I’m hoping that someone can help me how to actiave the admin account again.

definitely start thinking about a backup solution, that being said, i was able to reset the password without losing any data, i just used the same account name with a new password and i was back in.

Hi,
I have a backup that are running every night at 4 AM.

But then I’ll loose some settings etc.

I’ll try the reset-admin.sh script when I’m home again.

Do you run mariadb?

Edit:
I’ll also in the future make a “backup admin” so I can have one that I can use if this happen again.

It did work well with the reset-admin.sh script, and that’s good. :slight_smile:
