Raymond Zhu Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My flash drive has failed and I downloaded a copy of flash backup from MY SERVER cloud to a new flash drive, remake flash drive using the creator tool. When I start the server again using the new usb, the web gui prompt me to enter password for root, i tried both my old password and blank but failed to login. I tried deleting the config/passwd file and the problem is still the same. (config/shadow and config/smbpasswd files are absent) Then I tried remake the flashdrive using an much earlier local copy of the zip file(file created using webgui backup feature), it works well, i can use my old password to login. As MY SERVER copy of the flash backup is more up to date, is there a way I can use the MY SERVER copy of the flashback up? I suppose that password is not required after restoring from the MY SERVER copy of flash back up. Options? Link to comment
ljm42 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Your root password is not included in the backup, see: https://wiki.unraid.net/My_Servers#Restoring_Flash_Backup As Unraid 6.10 requires a root password to boot, you simply need to define one when prompted. Link to comment

Raymond Zhu Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 problem solved, i just copied config/passwd config/shadow config/smbpasswd from the outdated local zip copy to the MY SERVER cloud copy , then I can login through web gui, dont know what caused the denial of login , anyway , I can log into my unraid now:) Link to comment
ljm42 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 That was a good solution. I can't really explain why it was prompting you to login when those files didn't exist. Link to comment
