How to change the Superuser password

I have NOT lost my password, but I want to change the password for the superuser.
How can I change the password?

Yeah this had me stumped for a while too. It needs to be changed in config/config.ini.php. You’ll need to set the password variable to an md5 hash of the password you want. You can run

echo -n secret | grep md5sum

to get the hash.

If you’ve configured email on your server, just click on the “Forgot my password” link. You’ll be sent a link to the password reset form where you can enter a new password.
