Don't think so, but that'll be a possibility with 2.0, see:

in case it helps anyone, you could just use the built-in django method:
docker-compose exec web python3 manage.py changepassword

@AnonymousWP @yogeshojha Maybe we could put this in the MakeFile ?

Yep we can.

I just tried this, but it requires you to have a root user and thus doesn't work for another user, neither if you use a username as parameter of that command.

Would you ever need to reset a non-root user password using an emergency reset method? I would have thought for non-root you just ask the root user to change it (someone with the ability to run manage.py is probably a one-liner away from root user anyway)

Personally, when I install reNgine, I never leave it blank. I always use my own username, and maybe others do the same.

Anyway, according to Django documentation it should work: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/auth/default/#changing-passwords
