Hi @William_Mitiku

There is a command to change the password of an existent user. You only need to know the username.

If you setup taiga using docker:

```auto
./taiga-manage.sh changepassword <username>

```

If you setup Taiga from source code

```auto
python manage.py changepassword <username> 

```

If you can remember the username of your user, you can create a new one with the command `createsuperuser`.

I hope this can help.

Best regards

You are welcome.

Yes, this is another option, set admin role to an existent user.
