[TIP]
=======================
If you need to change a patron or staff account password without using the staff client, here is how you can reset it with SQL.

Connect to your Evergreen database using psql or a similar tool, and retreive and verify your admin username:

[source, sql]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
psql -U <user-name> -h <hostname> -d <database>

SELECT id, usrname, passwd from actor.usr where usrname = 'admin';
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do not remember the username that you set, search for it in the actor.usr table, and then reset the password.

[source, sql]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE actor.usr SET passwd = <password> WHERE id=<id of row to be updated>;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new password will automatically be hashed.
