Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/7943

Issue Type

Documentation Bug/Error

Description

The documentation at https://actualbudget.org/docs/troubleshooting/reset_password/ mentions npm run reset-password

However that's outdated.

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/blob/master/package.json#L20-L65

reset-password does not exists in package.json.

Documentation could also use yarn instead of npm.

Documentation Category

Accounts, Troubleshooting

Expected/Desired Content

Either no mention of password being resettable or add a new reset-password script and the docs should have the new script yarn reset-password

Screenshots or Examples

Thanks, the docs are at fault here. It's a holdover when the sync-server was a separate repository and haven't been updated since. The script is meant to be executed in a server environment that might not have yarn. Hence npm is correctly used there. We should definitely update the docs page with some clarification. We should also mention the new actual-server --reset-password which does the same thing, but has nicer UX.

Opened PR #7950 to replace the outdated host-side npm run reset-password docs with the current actual-server --reset-password flow, while keeping the source-checkout workspace command documented. This matches the existing CLI docs and resolves the stale instructions called out here.
