pcmanrules Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi There, I have been unable to access my UnRaid WebUI with root/password, I can access it via SSH fine but the WebUI just loops back to login on correct password and errors or wrong one. I tried resetting the password files which allowed me to access the WebUI without login but the error returns as soon as I set the password again. For the mean time I'll keep my WebUI without a password but unsure of the root issue. Any suggestions? Happy to provide more info. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Are you setting the password in the GUI under settings, users? Quote Link to comment
pcmanrules Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi There, Yes, after I lost access to the WebUI I deleted the oasswd smbpasswd and shadow in the config folder. I set the password in the unlocked WebUI after reboot but it returned me back to the login loop. It will tell me my password is wrong if I try the wrong one but it just loops when I get the password right with no error. I just tried to set the password via ssh with passwd which worked when I reconnected to SSH but didn't stick after reboot or secure the WebUI. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Does it work if you do a fresh trial USB as a test? Quote Link to comment
pcmanrules Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just wanted to add a conclusion to this issue, I believe it was due to previously having ssl enabled. I have managed to set my root password via the webui and disabled SSL as its not externally accessible. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
