Recovering an account’s password

Any account’s password can be changed by an administrative user through the configuration pages:

  • Open the Configuration page in Orchid after logging in
  • Click on the User Management section
  • Click on the account whose password you wish to change
  • Type the new password twice, and click the Save Changes button

If you’ve lost your admin password, you can use the following instructions to reset it:

  • Locate the orchid_server.properties file inside of the Orchid bin directory
  • Open the file in a text editor
  • Add the following bit of text at the bottom:
    • orchid.admin.password = new-password-here
  • Restart Orchid and your password will be reset

* It is recommended that you remove the password from the `orchid_Server.properties` file upon restarting Orchid so that it isn’t exposed on your file system.
