Reset Umbraco First Admin Password

Step 1

Open SQL Server Management Studio
Create a new query using the database for your umbraco project. Copy and paste the following SQL:

UPDATE umbracoUser SET userdisabled = 0, userLogin = 'admin', userPassword = 'default' WHERE id = 0

Run the query. This has now made sure the admin account is enabled and and set the password to 'default'.

This won't work yet though as passwords are stored as hash values, so you need to edit a setting in the web.config file temporarily.

Step 2

In the web.config file, at the root of your web project, use Ctrl+F to find UsersMembershipProvider

The passwordFormat will be set to "Hashed". You need to change it to "Clear" so that you can login. Save the web.config file.

Step 3

Go to the umbraco login page and login with the username of admin and the password of default.

Once you have logged in, you need to change the passwordFormat in the web.config again back to "Hashed" and press Save.

Step 4

Now you can change the password for the admin user to a different one and it will be saved in the database with a hashed value instead of clear text.

To make sure it is storing passwords in the hashed format, run this SQL query after you have changed the password.

SELECT userName, userPassword FROM umbracoUser WHERE id = 0

You should see the admin username and the hashed password.

Expression-bodied members C# 6.0 or above

Before Expression:

private SearchHelper _searchHelper 
{ 
    get { return new SearchHelper(new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current)); }
}

After Expression:

private SearchHelper _searchHelper => new SearchHelper(new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current));

HttpContext <=> HttpContextBase

Getting HttpContext from HttpContextBase’s instance:

HttpContext httpContext = httpContextBase.ApplicationInstance.Context;

To get HttpContextBase from HttpContext we have to wrap it in HttpContextWrapper:

HttpContextBase abstractContext = new System.Web.HttpContextWrapper(context);
