How do I Reset my MOVES Password?

See More Frequent Questions about MOVES and Related Models.

MOVES users sometimes forget the password they entered for MariaDB. In this case, you may want to reset the ‘root’ password.

Follow these steps:

Open Windows Terminal or the Command Prompt (CMD) as ‘administrator’ and type “net stop mariadb”. (Alternately, the service can be stopped from Task Manager.)
Edit the my.ini file (located in the MariaDB data folder) and add “skip-grant-tables=TRUE” in the [Server] section then net start mariadb.
Launch Heidi, go to Session Manager and change the root password, close Heidi.
Remove –skip-grant-table=TRUE line from the my.ini
Stop and start MariaDB again.

You will now be able to log in as root with the new password.
