changing the password after unpacking failed

Post by katamara »

I used the wrong password when the file was downloading. Now it failed while unpacking. How to I update the password and get it to unpack?

I tried that. but when it tries to unpack it's still using the wrong password. I get:
Unpack Trying unrar with password "(wrong password)"
[myfile.avi] Unpacking failed, archive requires a password

the correct password is in my password list

That's probably because you have a password in the title.
The best way to go about is this scenario.
Go to the "temporary download folder" and find the job folder.
Delete a small file in that folder.
Set SABnzbd to paused.
Retry the entry from History.
The job will be sent back to the queue.
Click on the job title.
Remove the password from the title and click Save.
Resume.

I know this is an old thread, but maybe from interest:

Just edit the SABnzbd_attrib file under the __ADMIN__ folder in your temporary download folder.

Then click retry in the sabnzbd interface and he just unpacks your stuff.

That's a good trick as well.
It's also possible to put the password in the password file (assuming you're using one).

Would really be nice to be able to enter password after download like it is possible while downloading without any workaround.
Please add this as a feature request.
