I've encountered an issue with the Deluge web interface and need some assistance. While adjusting the max upload speed in the settings, I clicked "save," and unexpectedly, a notification appeared indicating that the password had been successfully changed. I'm certain I didn't initiate a password change, especially since there wasn't even an option to change the password on the settings page I was on.
After this incident, I attempted to log back into the web interface but found myself locked out. To resolve this, I followed the official Deluge FAQ guide on resetting the password by removing the pwd_sha1 line from the web.conf file. Despite these efforts, I'm still unable to log in, even using the default "deluge" password.
I'm currently locked out of the Deluge web interface and would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to regain access. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might be going wrong?
Same issue as this post
EDIT: Issue Solved
Resolution: Also needed to delete the pwd_salt line along with pwd_sha1
The official FAQ page should be updated
