Hi
Because I forget admin password of system administrator, is there any method which I can use to find it's original password.
Additional information: forget password function can not work because I don't setup mail service in confluence.

Hi Anderson,

You can locate the password in the database, but it is encrypted. The recommended method is to use the recovery admin user to reset the password on your system administrator. Please review https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-158390.html for additional information. Cheers!
