Desperate for help, locked out of home assistant!

Installation

Hi, please could someone help me.

I restored a back up recently on my raspberry pi home assistant. The back up was from October last year.

The restore was fine but now when I log in the 2FA code I retrieve from Authenticator doesn’t work so I’m locked out of my home assistant.

Can some one please help me with the commands needed to log back in if I connect a keyboard and monitor directly to the raspberry pi.

I’m desperate, so any help will be massively appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi, see here

I know my ID and password, it’s 2FA I can’t get through. I need to turn it off some how through the console.

ok, I thought resetting password would reset MFA as well.
If not, you could try removing the MFA part in your configuration.yaml and reboot.

If I connect a monitor and keyboard directly to my home assistant would you know the commands I’d need to run to do that?

iirc, you first issue command: login
then: CD /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant
(have not tested, if it does not work, I will go and confirm for you)

Then you should be in th config folder

found a previous post with the details

From the ‘HA’ Prompt…

type ‘login’
then cd /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant

type ‘ls’
you’ll see ‘configuration.yaml’ is in this directory

vi configuration.yaml to edit

and

For basics VI editor commands

i — Switch to Insert mode.
Esc — Switch to Command mode.
:w — Save and continue editing.
:wq or ZZ — Save and quit/exit vi.
:q! — Quit vi and do not save changes.
