Hi,
I’m a bit lost and hope someone could help in this thread. We are using SonarQube together with Nexus,Sonar-Scanner and GitLab.
The problem is that our colleague who was managing all that apps left the company without providing the admin credentials or any useful documentation…
I tried the official SonarQube password as also some options i found on stackoverflow but nothing helped.
Not sure if this is related to our old version we are still using as it’s 8.8.0. Is a upgrade needed to latest 9.9.0 to get it working again ?
The only thing i can find in the logs is following line. I enabled debug mode:
For the moment there is no way for help to get back the admin account ? Before i upgrade on a test server i would like to verify some changes and without a working admin account…i can’t do any relevant things.
This procedure sadly doesn’t work for the Postgres DB.
Is it maybe possible to create a second local admin account directly in the Postgres ( Version 9.6 ) without going through web interface ( which won’t work anyway as i don’t have a workable admin account ) ?
Maybe a small step-by-step help would be very helpful here.
