 "page_title": "How to get back into Console after losing the Dashboard password with Hermes Console",
 "summary": "Generate a new Dashboard password, which also ends old sessions, and reconnect Console with it.",
 "who": "A person who set up Console earlier and can no longer sign in to the Dashboard because the password is lost.",
 "problem": "Without the Dashboard password, Console cannot sign in, and the old password cannot be recovered from the phone.",
 "outcome": "You have a new Dashboard password, the old sessions are ended, and Console is connected again.",
 "steps": [
  "On the computer where Hermes lives, run `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xP3ta/hermes-setup/main/hermes-dashboard-setup.sh | sh -s -- --new-access` in Terminal, or the PowerShell form with `-NewAccess` from the README.",
  "Note the new access details the command shows.",
  "Open Console and find the new access under Get access back.",
  "Sign in with the new details and confirm the chat loads."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "For the xP3ta/hermes-console setup, run the new-access option of the xP3ta/hermes-setup Dashboard helper on <target host>. Expected output: a new username and password for the Dashboard. Verify that the Dashboard sign-in page accepts the new password at http://<target host>:9119 before reporting success.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Running the new-access command ends the old sessions, so any other device signed in to the Dashboard will need the new password too.",

 "requirements": [
  "A computer or server where Hermes Agent is installed or can be installed",
  "Terminal on Linux or macOS, or PowerShell on Windows, on that machine",
