Unable to change web login password

[deerewright]

I am trying to change the web login password from the default.  I have tried several times, and have been unsuccessful.  I am entering admin/password as the username/current password, but that does not work.  That is the current  username/password combination, as that is how I am logging in to begin with.

Unfortunately there is no save button so you may have saved it unknowingly and it is no longer admin/password. I suggest going to config.xml and comparing it with the defaults https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid558962 The username is there too in clear text.

Well, I logged out and back in with the default username/password. So the default is still current. Still cannot change password.

NextPVR web can use a saved login that ignores the defaults, did you check config.xml?

What am I looking for in the config.xml.  All I see is is admin:

I provided you with a link that showed what to look for and both your entries are different. I am not sure if the password is case sensitive or not, the PIN is.

I also see that you don't have a saved login so not sure what is going on.

I followed the link, but I don't understand what I am supposed to be looking for.  Your link really doesn't explain anything.   

Also, where would I see a saved login?  I don't see any options in the settings for "Saved login".  The only thing I can find is the setting I referfed to earlier to change the password.

[mvallevand]

Saved login occur when you login and tick the checkbox to save it.

Your config.xml has

<Password>5F4DCC3B5AA765D61D8327DEB882CF99</Password>
<PinMD5>5B0FA0E4C041548BB6289E15D865A696</PinMD5>

Using Notepad change those to the defaults.

<Password>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</Password>
<PinMD5>4A7D1ED414474E4033AC29CCB8653D9B</PinMD5>

Alright, thanks.

I did that, restarted (don't know if that was necessary), and now I am able to change the password. Weird...
Is it possible to add/change username(s)?

[mvallevand]

Right now V5 only has one username and you can change it on the same access page.

I was wrong saying there is no save button, I meant there is no save button on the PIN which could be part of the problem not sure if you need to enter a valid PIN to change the password.
