forgot password

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?

To reset password completely:

 

- Power off server.

- Plug flash into PC.

- Remove these files from the flash:

 

passwd

shadow

smbpasswd

 

You must delete all three.  This will clear all passwords, but will also clear all users.
