I have forgotten my password for NextPvr and everywhere I look it says to edit the config.xml file. But I can't find it anywhere on my Mac. In the NPVR folder there is a config file but it specifically says do not edit. How can I get my password back to "password" on a mac?
I will be in .NPVR-data where you installed it, it could be a hidden "dot" folder. The one not to edit is with the program files.

Thank you Martin! I unhid all my folders and files and found the config.xml file. However, it showed "admin" and then about a 16 character password starting with 5f4d.... I tried using that password and it still won't let me log in. Anything else you think I might need to do? I couldn't find instructions for completely deleting the app and starting over on a mac. Thanks again!
Sounds right unless you are running a VPN or your IP is a public IP. That password only works on a local LAN.
If you are sure it is a local IP, manually zip up the nrecord.log from that data/logs folder and post them here.

You can edit that config.xml to set:
<Password>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</Password>
This will set the password back to "password"
