WebUI Password Reset Steps Undocumented #229

Using a Nano KVM I have locked myself out of the WebUI.

Issue:
There is no documentation that I can find that details the steps to reset the WebUI password. Default(webui) is admin/admin but SSH uses root/root as login.

Further the steps provided on the WebUI indicate to navigate to a pwd file, which is not preset on my unit when connected via SSH.

Hi @aerodb ,

that is exactly, how it works (or at least should work).

If the file "/etc/kvm/pwd" does not exist, the default user/password combination (admin/admin) for the WebUI should apply.

So it is documented - but you say, it does not work for you? That should be a bug then.

As one of my new NanoKVMs did not work with the default credentials, I had to follow the instructions when it was delivered a few weeks ago. Worked as described - but I don't remember the version my NanoKVM was delivered with.
And I tried it to check if the current version is somehow affected (Image 1.3.0, WebGUI 2.1.3) - also works as described.

Could you please provide the output of "ls -la /etc/kvm/" when logged in via SSH?
