Locked out - Disable 2FA via console?

[Wiggum]

Installed HA on with a docker image on RPI 2B.
Activated 2FA to use an authenticator app and linked up the app on my smartphone.
Smartphone crashed and no way for me to logon to my HA instance.

What are my options?

Maybe this can help you:

2FA Lockout

I had to restore an old back up on my VirtualBox VM of HassIO. It’s running, but I no longer have access to the 2FA token so my password does not work. Is there a way to bypass 2FA? I do have a full backup via the GoogleDrive Back Up. It’s an older version of HA. If I start from scratch can I restore from that backup if the versions are different? Thanks in advance! Chris

Actually followed the steps suggested here and managed to gain access again.

Turning Off two factor authentication

now whether this was the right thing to do or not. renamed auth_module.totp to auth_module.totp.tmp which I found in /config/.storage rebooted the host. Logged in without being asked for the two-factor code. Enabled then Disabled the Authenticator app through the GUI Saw that the original file auth_module.totp has been recreated. All seems fine now.

Hello,

Could you explain me step by step, how can I renamed the file by using CLI ?

Thank for your help
