Had to uninstall Home Assistant Supervised, now I can't log in to the new Install

the-porkchop-express · September 2, 2021, 6:51pm

So I followed https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer to install HASS Supervised, and instead of a page to create login credentials I am asked to login. I assume it is asking this based on my last install, that I needed to delete, using those logins - which I think I am using. Something isn’t right. Is there a file that I can access via CL that I can either see or reset/set my password for HASS without being able to access the app?
I am running it on ubuntu 20.04 desktop.
I have other containers running without issue.
When I had to uninstall the previous installaiton I used this: how to remove hassio and supervisor · GitHub

I have no problem deleting this install again and doing it another time, but I have done it 3x and each time HASS is asking me to login not create logins - so i think I need to delete a file its using or edit that file. Can someone help?

You probably want this: I’m Locked Out! – Start a new onboarding process.

Yeah that is what I thought, but I couldn’t figure out how to access the folders listed in the steps (sorry). Any tips?

You do this by shutting down Home Assistant and deleting the following files from the .storage/ folder in your configuration folder:

auth
auth_provider.homeassistant
onboarding
hassio
cloud

cd into the directory where your configuration.yaml is and do ls -la. This should show hidden files and directories, such as .storage. Then do this:

cd .storage/
rm auth auth_provider.homeassistant onboarding hassio cloud

That was super helpful. I found the .storage but when I ls -la in that, I don’t get the files to remove (auth, auth_provider) from the list. See screenshots.

Nevermind found it. It was under /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/.storage.

thanks for your help!!
