The command is not designed to reset the password for existing users, only to create new ones: https://www.keycloak.org/server/bootstrap-admin-recovery |

Thanks for the clarification! I've read through the docs, looks like there's no support for an admin password reset, is that the case? Also looks like the server must be stopped for the command to exit cleanly. What would be the best strategy to reset an admin password via CLI, on a running instance? |

There is no supported option I know of. Maybe you can copy over a known password from a different user on the database directly if nothing else works for you. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
In cases where the Keycloak admin password is forgotten, and no reset mechanisms have been preconfigured, is there an official or recommended way to reset it? Since access to the Keycloak UI would not be possible under these circumstances, it would be helpful to have guidance on any CLI-based or alternative recovery methods.
Thank you for any suggestions or best practices for this scenario.
