If you have lost your Domoticz password or login, here’s how to re-initialize your permissions using an SSH connection.

From a computer on the network, launch the Terminal or Power Shell and open an SSH connection

ssh pi@IP_DOMOTICZ

Go to the folder and stop the service

cd domoticz
sudo service domoticz.sh stop

Stopping may take a few seconds. You can check that Domoticz is stopped by refreshing the browser

Or execute this command

$ sudo service domoticz.sh status

Now we restart the service with the parameter -nowwpwd

./domoticz -nowwwpwd

You can now change the connection settings from the settings -> Security

Once everything is configured, return to the Terminal and stop the service with CTRL + C. Restart the service with

sudo service domoticz.sh start

Unable to connect to Domoticz after setting up password

After activating the protection by login and password, when you connect Domoticz does not return any error but one remains blocked on the page of connection. This problem may occur with some browsers (including Chrome). In this case, you must empty the browser cache before you can connect.
