DeanH Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I built a simple Unraid 6 server last spring. All I use it for is to store video files and stream to a TV. I got a notice that a drive reported a parity error so I went to login to the web interface and realized I forgot my password. What are my options to recover? Can I do anything from the web GUI? from the GUI on local box with keyboard/monitor? Edit something on the USB flash boot drive? Edited October 25, 2019 by DeanH Quote Link to comment

This will clear all passwords, but will also clear all users. Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 These days you only have to delete config/shadow config/smbpasswd You should leave config/passwd in place and preserve your users and importantly, user/UID mapping. 1 Quote Link to comment
