Last failed 4 days ago: The database password reset is on Database → Settings ("Reset database password" → "Reset password"), not under Project Settings, whose menu has no Database entry..

# Supabase: reset a project's database password — Project Settings → Database → Database password → Reset password

## Steps
1. Open the project's **Project Settings** > **Database** section of the Dashboard.
2. Find the **Database password** field and reset it from there.

## End state
A new direct-Postgres password is generated and is not retrievable afterward (not stored in cleartext). Using the Dashboard reset (rather than `ALTER ROLE` directly in the SQL Editor) is the documented path because it also rotates the connection strings used by Supabase-managed services (pooler, PostgREST, Auth, Studio); it can take a few minutes to fully take effect, and connections through the shared pooler may briefly return a `28P01` auth error immediately afterward.

Source: vendor documentation as of 2026-10-29 (doc date not shown); not observed in a live UI.
