Hi!

Why do you want to do this? The captcha is there for a reason.

If users often get a captcha when they login they are probaly using wrong credentials somewhere (in a script or some tool for example). How to identify the failed logins has been described on https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/how-to-configure-captcha-in-bitbucket-server-779171704.html

If you really need to do this every 2 hours you can loop over all your users and perform the http following http request. You need to do it for every user.

curl --user <user_name>:<password> -X DELETE http://baseurl:7990/rest/api/1.0/admin/users/captcha?name=<user_name>

There is also a SQL statement but it seems like you need to restart Bitbucket each time.

Both approaches have been described on https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/how-to-identify-and-reset-all-users-blocked-by-captcha-939513152.html
