Reset password

[Duckstar]

Hi there.

Someone please save my life. I have forgotten my username and password for sickbeard (apparently). I am running Ubuntu 10.10 I think.

I have opened ~/.sickbeard/config.ini and it's empty ... Anyone ?

Thanks !

if there is no pw in the ini .. then there is no pw set.
What you can do is .. stop SB

Open the ini , set a pw & username
Restart SB

Thank you. Your right i had to stop the service before it would allow me to view/modify the .ini

I spoke to soon.
I stopped sickbeard using the command :

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/sickbeard.sh stop

then i did :

Code: Select all

sudo gedit ~/.sickbeard/config.ini

I tried changing the web user name and password and also changing both values to ""
When i do

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/sickbeard.sh start

and then try to connect to the web interface it would still ask me for a username and password and the ones i entered in the config wont work.
Any ideas ?

Thanks ,
Duckstar

Are you 100% sure you stopped it ?
Try to KILL the process instead of using the script
