The gitlab built with docker has been useless for a long time, and I forgot the password, how to reset it.

We should be able to enter the gitlab container through the following command

docker exec -ti gitlab bash

Then execute the following command to reset: Please wait for the execution to complete.
1. Execute the following commands as root to enter the Ruby on Rails console.

gitlab-rails console -e production

Second, catch the first user.

user = User.where(id: 1).first

Enter user to view the name again

irb(main):003:0> user
=> #<User id:1 @root>

Enter user.eamil to get mailbox

irb(main):010:0> user = User.where(id: 6).first
=> #<User id:6 @thor>
irb(main):011:0> user.email
=> "thor@avengers.test"
irb(main):012:0>

Or get the user by email

user = User.find_by(email: 'thor@avengers.test')

To change the password, execute

user.password = 'secret_pass'
user.password_confirmation = 'secret_pass'

Finally, save and press Ctrl+d to leave.

user. save!

The following is an actual execution example:
