Help!! How reset admin password if you forget it!!!

(Does EVERY course have a DIFFERENT admin password? I changed
the admin password for a class but didn't know the "main" admin would keep
the old password!)

Is there some command line that will do this?

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi,

Yes, every course has it's own users and passwords. They are not shared between courses.

If you have command line access to the server you can change your admin password for the course using the newpassword script in  webwork2/bin/.  If you do not have command line access to the server, you will have to ask someone who does to run the script for you.
