Password is not what the config says

Version: .4.2
OS: OSX Leopard
Install-type: .app
Skin (if applicable): default
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible?


I was playing around with the scheduling task and I decided to restart sabn.  I now have the login screen before I can reach the GUI.  I did try cat ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini and took the info from there but it still doesn't work.

Code: Select all

host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080
web_dir = Default
web_dir2 = ""
username = ""
password = ""
"" "" usually means blank which I have tried but to no avail.  Is there a way to master reset the GUI without losing configuration or will I have to end up reinstalling?

Thanks for the help!

I didn't change anything in the .ini
but I did realize I was looking at the wrong .ini file.

But I still need some help.

My new .ini has a password of

!!!encoded!!! and a set of numbers.

Where is the location of this new ini file you have found? Are you specifying it's location?

There should be no encoding of the password within the ini file, I'm not sure what you have done to get that. Simply change username and password to two quotes: "" (like in the first ini) and restart sabnzbd.

The !!!encoded!!! form is used when the password contains characters that cannot be
represented in the syntax of the INI file.
THe '#', control characters and any ASCII code above 126 (mostly accented characeters).
