By mistake, I entered a password for unRAID's root because I thought MySQL needed one. Turns out it was for MySQL. Now I want to remove the password (which I changed to "blank"). But when I telnet, it is still asking for a password (I do not type one and hit enter and it goes in).... But it still asks for password.

 

This is messing up some of my shares as they all now want a password... Is there a way I can avoid this?

 

Thanks,

Have you tried going into the CLI and then typing

 

passwd root

 

You should then be able to change the root password.

 

To telnet to your server, even if you had a blank password, by which the password was nothing/no characters, you'll still be prompted to enter a password, which you just press 'Enter' and the session will accept your login request.

 

Your shares can be modified to use a different user access, which don't have to have password set, or even configure you're shares to not be authenticated by a local user account residing on your unRAID server.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Thank you Unraided,
