The graphite webapp uses the django framework, and django mostly handles the user authentication bits. There is some good info on this here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#changing-passwords

Basically, do something like this using wherever you've installed graphite as $GRAPHITE_ROOT:

export PYTHONPATH=$GRAPHITE_ROOT/webapp/
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=graphite.settings
python
# run example code from the link I sent you to change the password of the admin user
# then login to the admin interface (http://your-graphite-server/admin/) and change whoever else's password

Hi,

I am having a similar problem can you advise specifically what needs to be run to identify or add new users as I dont have the admin account currently.

Is there a default admin user that it gets created with after install?

Can you help with this problem?
