Resetting the Hosted Instance Password

Scenarios

You can reset the root login password of an RDS for PostgreSQL instance hosted by your Supabase application.

Keep your new login password secure to prevent security risks, potential attacks, and business losses.

Prerequisites

Constraints

  • Passwords cannot be reset for hosted instances undergoing active operations. Wait until the operations complete.
  • Passwords cannot be reset for DB instances undergoing active operations. Wait until the operations complete.
  • Supabase application features are unavailable during the password reset process. Perform this operation during off-peak hours to avoid affecting peak-time workloads.
  • Passwords cannot be reset when the application status is abnormal.
  • Passwords cannot be reset if the hosted instance status is abnormal.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RDS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose AI App Dev Platform.
  4. On the AI App Dev Platform page, locate the target AI application and choose More > Reset Hosted Instance Password in the Operation column.
  5. In the displayed dialog box, enter a new password (ensure that it meets security requirements and avoid using weak passwords) and click OK to reset the hosted instance password.
