Lost Administrator Rights — How to Restore Admin Access?

[koksime.yap_5909]

Hi ProGet team,

I accidentally removed the Administer rights for the Administrator group, and now it no longer has the permissions to manage the instance.

Environment:

• ProGet version: 25.0.12; container

Is there any way to restore the admin rights without reinstalling or resetting the entire system?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Update:

I was able to restore the Administer role to the Administrator group by editing the database directly.

I’m now curious if there’s a safer way to do this, or a way to prevent accidentally removing critical roles, since currently it can happen without any warning.

Hi @koksime-yap_5909 ,

If you ever get "locked out" of an Inedo product, either due to misconfiguration or a lost password, you can restore the default Admin/Admin account and reenable Built-in User Sign-on by using ProGet.exe resetadminpassword

Here's more information on this procedure:

Thanks,
