+==============================
+Recovering Lost Admin Password
+==============================
+
+The normal ways to recover a lost password are:
+
+1. Click the password reset link on the login screen; this appears after a 
+   failed login attempt. This works only if you have entered your email address 
+   on your Personal page in the ownCloud Web interface, so that the ownCloud 
+   server can email a reset link to you.
+
+2. Ask your ownCloud server admin to reset it for you.
+
+If neither of these is an option, then you have a third option, and that is 
+using the ``occ`` command. ``occ`` is in the ``owncloud`` directory, for 
+example ``/var/www/owncloud/occ``. ``occ`` has a command for resetting all 
+user passwords, ``user:resetpassword``. It is best to run ``occ`` as the HTTP 
+user, as in this example::
+
+ $ sudo -u www-data /var/www/owncloud/occ user:resetpassword admin
+ Enter a new password: 
+ Confirm the new password: 
+ Successfully reset password for admin
+ 
+If your ownCloud username is not ``admin``, then substitute your ownCloud 
+username.
+
+You can find your HTTP user in your HTTP configuration file. These are the 
+default Apache HTTP user:group on Linux distros:
+
+* Centos, Red Hat, Fedora: apache:apache
+* Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint: www-data:www-data
+* openSUSE: wwwrun:www
