How do I recover / reset rancher login?

1

I tried to turn off access control by following the faqs guide, but I get this error,

root@ubuntu16-rancher01:~# docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
bb06e04f8a28 rancher/server “/usr/bin/entry --…” 2 months ago Up 4 days 3306/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp reverent_franklin
root@ubuntu16-rancher01:~# docker exec -it bb06e04f8a28 mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
root@ubuntu16-rancher01:~#

What am I doing wrong? thanks

If you’re using an external database then you need to connect to it. The example is for the default embedded database.
