How To Set A Password For Jupyter Notebook

How to Setup a Password for Your Jupyter Notebook

According to Jupyter’s Documentation, new versions of Jupyter give you the opportunity to setup a password from the user interface. The following are directions if that option is not available.

1. Open Git BASH

2. SSH into your AWS instance by running ssh ubuntu@[instance_ipv4_addr]

3. Get the name the Docker container running Jupyter by running docker ps

For information about docker ps, go to this link If you do not have a container that is running Jupyter, create a container running Jupyter. Look to How to Set Up an AWS Instance, Docker, and Jupyter for directions.

4. Execute an interactive bash shell on the Jupyter container by running docker exec -it [container_name] bash

5. Run jupyter notebook password

The shell will tell you to simply enter and verify your password. Run the same command if you want to reset your password. You do not need your old password to reset it.
