When you are unable to login to the unifi controller or forgot admin password, you can restore access using SSH and manipulating mongodb directly.
Do not uninstall unifi controller - most of the data is not stored in mongodb. In case you thought a mongodb backup would be sufficient, you may have fucked up already, just like me. However I managed to write this "tutorial" for anyone to not run into the same trap.
| class puppetlabs { | |
| # Install Puppet repository and call apt-get update | |
| case $operatingsystem { | |
| ubuntu: { | |
| $key = "4BD6EC30" | |
| exec { 'apt-key puppetlabs': | |
| path => "/bin:/usr/bin", | |

| command => "apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ${key}", | |

Dashing.io Widget for UnifiVideo NVR
This method uses API Key access so I suggest you setup a guest account with API access but limited (Visible and View Feed) access. Then login as the guest user, enable API access, and generate a new key. Copy the key for use.
Switch to the Devices tab and open the Configure dialog for the cam. On the Details tab, right-click the thumbnail view and Copy the image URL to the clipboard. It will look similar to the following if pasted to an address bar or text editor: http://192.168.1.105:7443//api/2.0/snapshot/camera/05a2bc63-d1ce-399f-8327-3a19b0cd3e8f?width=%d&force=true
The guid after /camera/ is what you want to use in the unifivideo.rb file.
You can setup as many cameras as you want, just add a name and UUID for each to the secrets/unifi.yml file.
##Description Simple Dashing widget (and associated job) to display general puppetdb status. Pulled the API calls from Puppetboard.
WARNING: This only works if puppetdb is listening on HTTP. I have not gotten around to getting this to work with SSL client certificates yet. If you know how, please leave them at the comments below.

##Dependencies None
Simple Dashing widget to countdown until a certain moment. Flashes the widget when finished.
