Macos - Reset your password
STEP 1: Open the terminal program
If you need help doing this then:
STEP 2: /Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --reset_admin_user
This is the command to type in:
/Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --reset_admin_user
This will reset your password. This is what you might expect to see:
STEP 3: Restart your Iguana server
This will restart the IguanaX server from the command line:
/Applications/IguanaX.app/Contents/MacOS/iguana --service install
Alternatively right click on this link:
Mac OS - Stop and Start Iguana
for instructions on stopping and starting your IguanaX server.
STEP 4: Login with username 'admin' and new password
When the login prompt comes up you should be able to login with admin and the newly generated password.
How did this actually work?

The instructions given above meant that we went inside that folder and invoked the program file that is Iguana to change the password to “temp”.
What happens if you installed somewhere else other than Applications?
Then you will need to enter the path slightly differently altering the part of the path in the red box:
