Add a new Admin User

Good day.

I see from other posts on how to reset the admin password the solution is to create new user. To do this a ./adduser.php command is mentioned.

I can’t find such a command on my system - did I miss a step?

FWIW I have recently re-built the system and also having other issues - specifically relating to the APP_KEY. I asked about that in a separate thread.

Thank you

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/librenms

Not sure about in cli, but in the LibreNMS web ui there is a page for adding users. Gear menu, Manage users.

login to cli, switch to librenms user and create new admin account with below command

lnms user:add -p yournewpassword -r admin yournewusername

Thank you.

Since I could not wait for your answer what I had done is I copied the hased password from a user for who I do know the password to an admin user.
