Having trouble logging in to 6.10 RC4. Password not remembered by unraid?

[AngelEyes]

Hi,

 

I have always used a password to login to unraid but since upgrading to 6.10 (now on RC4) it keeps 'forgetting' my password. I use Lastpass to remember my passwords and am sure this is working correctly but after logging out it won't accept the password on login. Twice now I have gone through the password recovery process, put the flash drive in another PC created a new password (saved to lastpass) and all works fine but the next time I want to login it says the password is incorrect. I never had this issue with previous stable versions of unraid, it always logged in just fine. 

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Have you tried on another browser ?

Have you tried to type or paste the password manually to be sure that it is not an issue with Lastpass ?

 

I have no problem myself using 6.10.0RC4 with Firefox and Lastpass.

But I remember reading someone having issues with the password manager a few days/weeks back. Can't find the post though.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm using Chrome and just tried Edge and have the same issue, even with manual entry of the password. Lastpass has been 100% reliable until now on all passwords so I am not convinced it is the issue although I am happy to be proven wrong.

Same for firefox

Hi, I m still having this issue, every time I go through the rest password process it works until reboot then the server seems to forget the password.

Maybe the file where the password is stored on the flashdrive is damage and/or read only ?

 

Not sure what file it might be though. I'm sure someone knows.

It is stored in   /config/shadow   and the value is actually the hash of the true password.   That hash is the second parameter in the line for the user   root

 

EDIT:  A word of caution, do NOT post up that hash value.  I am the feeling that it could be a simple task to recover your Unraid root password unless your password is at least fifteen thirteen characters long!

I admit to a bit of hyerbole

Thanks, I am looking in to the possibility of corrupt Flash drive and will replace shortly.

Maybe just rename the file for starters and see if you still have the issue.
