Resetting password for root or other users are easy,

# Basic installation
$ cd /var/www/peertube/peertube-latest
$ sudo -u peertube NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config NODE_ENV=production npm run reset-password -- -u target_username

# Docker installation
$ cd /var/www/peertube-docker
$ docker-compose exec -u peertube peertube npm run reset-password -- -u target_username

• You will need to replace target_username with the one you want to reset. If root, just replace it with root.
• If you are using docker, replace /var/www/peertube-docker with your actual project folder.

You will then will get prompted to enter your new password

Just enter a new password and repeat if needed.

You are now done 🙂
