6.8.0 -- Login reset not working

You might want to try downloading the zip file for the release and extracting the config/passwd and config/shadow  files and putting them on the flash drive?  I am not sure what happens when the 'shadow' file is missing and the 'passwd' file wants it to get the password.

 

It is possible there is some sort of bug around this so report back on any progress.

 

And make sure that cookies are enabled in the browser

I downloaded the zip file (unRAIDServer-6.8.0-x86_64) and there isn't a config/passwd file or a config/shadow folder, neither exist in the zip file. 

 

I have tried with enables and disabled cookies and still no go.

What's really throwing me off is that if no password is set, that UI shouldn't display.

Perhaps the password reset instructions need an edit. @Kastro you seem to have tried to delete a single file called:

 

"config/shadow config/smbpasswd"

 

I think the instruction should be to delete two files:

 

"config/shadow"

"config/smbpasswd"

Those are the instructions.  OP said config/shadow did not exist.  You can delete config/passwd too if you want but if you have any users defined they will need to be recreated, preferably in the same order they were defined.

Yes, those are the instructions, but the formatting on the wiki makes it easy to misunderstand and try to delete one file called:

 

"config/shadow config/smbpasswd"

 

OP said "Shadow config folder didn't exist"

Ok I see what you mean - fixed it.
