Forgot Password¶
There is currently no way to reset you Embassy master password through a standard UI flow.
SSH/Linux¶
If you already have SSH keys registered with your Embassy OR you have access to a Linux computer, you can reset your Embassy password without losing any data.
SSH:
Use the command line to gain SSH access to your Embassy:
ssh pi@start9-[network-id].local
Check if you have sqlite3 installed. If not, install it:
which sqlite3 sudo apt install sqlite3
Access the sqlite3 terminal:
sudo sqlite3 /root/agent/start9_agent.sqlite3
Run:
delete from account; .quit
Exit the SSH session:
exitYou can now use the Start9 Setup App to reclaim your Embassy and set a new password.
Linux computer:
Shut down your Embassy, disconnect from power, and remove the microSD card.
Insert the microSD card into your Linux computer and mount the drive:
mount [drive] [mount folder]
Check if you have sqlite3 installed. If not, install it:
which sqlite3 sudo apt install sqlite3
Access the sqlite3 terminal:
sudo sqlite3 /root/agent/start9_agent.sqlite3
Run:
delete from account; .quit
Un-mount the microSD card:
umount [mount folder]
Return the microSD card to your Embassy and power it on.
You can now use the Start9 Setup App to reclaim your Embassy and set a new password.
No SSH/Linux¶
You must factory reset your device by re-installing EmbassyOS, resulting in permanent loss of data. Visit the image downloader to obtain a new EmbassyOS image, then follow the installation instructions.
