Password Problem

Post by TheStretchedElf »

I tried to change my password but when I clicked "save" the save button changed to "failed". Now neither my old or new password works and I'm locked out. Please help!

I'm on Windows 7 if that helps.

Stop SABnzbd, then read http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc20

Additionally: the location of sabnzbd.ini is described here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc18

Just use SABnzbd's System Tray icon. It has an entry called "Troubleshoot->Restart - No Login".
That will remove username and password.

I started a Windows (XP) in a VirtualBox, installed SABnzbd, configured it with a password, and indeed:

On the SABnznbd icon in the right lower corner, Right mouse click -> Troubleshoot -> Restart without login. And it works: no more login / password. Cool!

Is that available for Linux too? How does it work, as I don't see it as a command line options on http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters. Maybe an option '-n' / --nologin?
