Apache Superset reset admin password

superset-admin-password-reset.sh

# activate the virtualenv 
source /home/superset/.virtualenvs/superset/bin/activate
fabmanager  reset-password --app superset --username admin --password enteryournewpassword

Thanks!!
In my case it worked wen i logger into the container and used the comand: superset reset-password.

The command to run in the container is now superset fab reset-password (as of 2020-06-18 at least).

fabmanager is going to deprecated, you flask fab cmd

export FLASK_APP=superset
flask fab reset-password --username adminuser --password yourpassword

or

superset fab reset-password --username adminuser --password yourpassword

I had an error about requiring holidays package. Running Superset on Apache.

Installed it using: pip install "holidays < 0.24" prophet

Then it worked great.
