Cant Login to Sabnzbd / Fresh Install

Post by daz1uk »

Hi,

I can't login to sab. This is a fresh install, I did not set a username or password on setup. I am running a headless ubuntu server 14.04 and connecting from another computer on the same network. When I try to access sab via the browser it asks me for my login credentials, which I didn't set, although I have tried various possible login combinations with no joy.

I have tried removing sabnzbd to do a fresh install using apt-get purge but when re-installing it still uses the previous installations settings.

Please help.

See http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc21

your sabnzbd.ini is ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

Automatic showing of your SAB webui username / password combo:

Code: Select all

cat ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini | grep -e username -e "password " | head -2
