So I setup the node, changed the password (but my password manager didn’t save it) so I am locked out of the node.
I am able to SSH to the login prompt, but don’t have the password.
I am able to get on the console, but don’t have the password.
I have reimaged the flash drive, but it didn’t reset back to the initial password (so is it stored on the SSD drive?)
Should I totally wipe the SSD drive AND flash the MicroSD card?
I have about 1M satoshi in the BTC wallet (not the Lightning wallet) and have the seed phrase so I can recreate that, but am curious as to why a reflash of MicroSD doesn’t reset the node?
Can someone confirm my suspicion (its on the SSD drive) and give confirmation of wiping the SSD drive is needed as well in order to completely reset the node (so I can recover wallet with seed phrase)?
Reflash the sd card. It will set your ssh password to moneyprintergobrrr.
Log in with that in ssh, and then restart umbrel startup program like this sudo systemctl stop umbrel-startup && sudo rm -rf ~/umbrel/lnd/!(lnd.conf) && sudo rm ~/umbrel/db/user.json && sudo rm ~/umbrel/db/umbrel-seed/seed && sudo systemctl start umbrel-startup
Then go to umbrel.local in your browser, that will start your setup process again.
I recently got the Bitcoin Machine from umbrel and after setting everything up I forgot my password + recovery seed phrase. (No funds stored in the node wallet)
I was wondering what’s the easiest way to reset my node.
Reflashing the mSD card is the same process as you did first time when you install Umbrel.
Just take it out, plug into a PC, use Balen Etcher with the latest version of Umbrel and done.
Keep in mind: reflashing mSD is not wiping the user data, is just updating the UmbrelOS. All user data is stored on SSD external drive.
Hi, i am sorry but i haven’t figured out the solution yet. I have reflashed twice but the password is not defaulted to brrr, so i am not able to run the (sudo systemctl stop umbrel-startup…) for erasing all the user data as a i cannot SSH. What am i doing wrong?
