It only requires access to the eXist-db on disk data folder and config file (`conf.xml`).\n\nThis can be useful if you are working with an eXist-db database, and you no longer know the password.\n\n**NOTE** eXist-db must not be running when you execute this utility!\n\n## Building from Source\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/evolvedbinary/existdb-set-password.git\ncd existdb-set-password\nmvn clean package -P6\n```\n\nIf you wish to build a version compatible with a different version of eXist-db, just replace the `6` in `-P6` with the major version of eXist-db that you need.\n\n## Example - Set the password of the `admin` user\n\nAssuming that `$EXIST_HOME` points to an exist-db 6.x.x installation where you wish to change the password of the Admin user.\n\n```bash\nexistdb-set-password-cli/target/appassembly/bin/existdb-set-password.sh \\\n    --existdb-version 6 \\\n    --existdb-conf $EXIST_HOME/etc/conf.xml\n    --username admin --password MY-NEW-PASSWORD\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevolvedbinary%2Fexistdb-set-password","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fevolvedbinary%2Fexistdb-set-password","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevolvedbinary%2Fexistdb-set-password/lists"}
