Running audiobookshelf with docker
Is there a way to reset the root user password ?
A script ?
Manual edit of config/users/data/ json file ? But how to generate the pash value ?

No script yet, but you can just set the pash value to an empty string for the root user. I described it here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/112698-support-audiobookshelf/page/7/#comment-1126005

I just recommend backing up that data.json file before editing it, it is easy to break that file.

Sorry to resurrect an old issue, but somehow the password for my root user seems to have gotten set to something other than what it originally was. I need to reset it, but it doesn't look like there is a users folder in my config directory anymore. Is something wrong with my setup and it should still be there, or is there a different way I can reset my password now?

You will need to edit the SQLite database to reset a root password.
