# Password Authentication
|
|
|
|
Coder has password authentication enabled by default. The account created during
|
|
setup is a username/password account.
|
|
|
|
## Disable password authentication
|
|
|
|
To disable password authentication, use the
|
|
[`CODER_DISABLE_PASSWORD_AUTH`](../../reference/cli/server.md#--disable-password-auth)
|
|
flag on the Coder server.
|
|
|
|
## Restore the `Owner` user
|
|
|
|
If you remove the admin user account (or forget the password), you can run the
|
|
[`coder server create-admin-user`](../../reference/cli/server_create-admin-user.md)command
|
|
on your server.
|
|
|
|
> Note: You must run this command on the same machine running the Coder server.
|
|
> If you are running Coder on Kubernetes, this means using
|
|
> [kubectl exec](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_exec/)
|
|
> to exec into the pod.
|
|
|
|
## Reset a user's password
|
|
|
|
An admin must reset passwords on behalf of users. This can be done in the web UI
|
|
in the Users page or CLI:
|
|
[`coder reset-password`](../../reference/cli/reset-password.md)
|
