Hi – I am unable to change my password or access the dashboard.
I originally set a password with a % sign as part of the password, I believe this broke it.
I have tried to follow the instructions in the FAQ –
Linux - Ubuntu
command line, inside yacy/bin ./passwd newpassword
It then asks me for existing host admin password, which I do not know and after I put the last known password (the one I am attempting to set) in – I get
Password reset while YaCy is shut down: edit the file DATA/SETTINGS/yacy.conf:
Setting new YaCy administrator password…
YaCy server appears to be running. Calling the ConfigAccounts_p API…
Enter host password for user ‘admin’:
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401
I have to kill the search daemon because yacySTOP wants a password. So I kill the ahahi-daemon and follow the next procedure:
When I try the yacy.conf procedure … first there is not “serverAccountBase64MD5” entry
- remove the entry serverAccountBase64MD5
- remove the entry adminAccount (if any)
- choose a new password by setting the entry serverAccount to :, for example serverAccount=admin:mysecretpassword
Then I remove the adminAccount entry and add the serverAccount=admin:newpassword
and restart and it does not recognize the newpassword, but does change the config file to reflect the adminAccount=admin
Any one have any ideas ?
