If you need to change a patron or staff account password without using the staff client, here is how you can reset it with SQL.

Connect to your Evergreen database using psql or similar tool, and retrieve and verify your admin username:

psql -U <user-name> -h <hostname> -d <database>

SELECT id, usrname, passwd from actor.usr where usrname = 'admin';

If you do not remember the username that you set, search for it in the actor.usr table, and then reset the password.

UPDATE actor.usr SET passwd = <password> WHERE id=<id of row to be updated>;

The new password will automatically be hashed.
