While running an app how do you select a user by email address and then set the password manually within rails console for Devise?

Also, where would I go to review documentation to cover more details in this regard to manipulation of accounts while using Devise?

Valk: where() isn't available until rails 3. But, the way you did it is fine too.hellion

Modern devise allows simpler syntax, no need to set the confirmation field

user.password = new_password; user.save
# or
user.update(password: new_password)

# $ rails console production
u=User.where(:email => '[email protected]').first
u.password='userpassword'
u.password_confirmation='userpassword'
u.save!

If you run the following in the rails console it should do the trick:

User.find_by(email: 'user_email_address').reset_password!('new_password','new_password')

You can simply update password field, no need for confirmation password, devise will save it in encrypted form

u = User.find_by_email('[email protected]')
u.update_attribute(:password, '123123')

For some reason, (Rails 2.3??)

user = User.where(:email => email).first

didn't work for me, but

user = User.find_by_email('[email protected]')

did it.

1.Login in to ralis console

$ sudo bundle exec rails console production

2.Then update the administrator's password

irb(main):001:0> user = User.where("username = 'root'")
irb(main):002:0> u = user.first
irb(main):003:0> u.password="root2014@Robin"
=> "root2014@Robin"
irb(main):004:0> u.password_confirmation="root2014@Robin"
=> "root2014@Robin"
irb(main):005:0> u.save
=> true
irb(main):006:0> exit

3.Refresh the login page, use the new password to login, enjoy!

Good Luck!

If your account is locked from too many login attempts, you may also need to do:

user.locked_at = ''
user.failed_attempts = '0'
user.save!
