Sabnzbd has started asking for a username and pass?

Post by james_uk »

I have never set a username and pass for SABNZBD and it is now asking me for the details everytime i start it up, i cannot get into the program as if i click ok it stays on the window to put the details in and if i cancel i just get an error msg saying error 401 unauthorized.

can anyone please help?

If the ini file is empty it's beyond repair. Restore from a backup, then try queue repair. Instructions for removing username/password for the web interface are part of the faq.
