[SOLVED] Plugin Passwortschutz didn’t accept password

Hello everybody,

simple single, I installed the Plugin Passwortschutz, changed the root password (worded fine) and protect the webfront end with a name and a password, but it didn’t work. The first time the login didn’t accept my password, I was able to go back and check it, if there is a type error or so.
Is there a problem with special sign? Or could I reset the password over a SSH connection?

greets,
Andy

Hi,

you need to disable the password check for the webserver in the folder /var/www/max2play/public/ as user root (via SSH). Password is „max2play“.

/bin/sed -i "/##AUTHENTICATION START/,/##AUTHENTICATION END/ { /##AUTHENTICATION END/"\'!\'" d;}" /var/www/max2play/public/.htaccess
rm /var/www/max2play/.htpasswd
rm /var/www/max2play/public/.htaccess_add

Otherwise you may also burn a new SD-Card image.

Hi

I have the same problem.

I’m logged onto the Odroid U3 via TightVNC but get the following error. Any ideas?

HI,

I had the same problem today – correct password was not accepted. I was able to SSH and disable protection in /var/www/max2play/public/.htaccess
Then I installed protection again, but this time chosen different password and… it works. New password didn’t have ‚$‘ sign (dolar) as my first one.
Looks that if you use this mentioned char in your password then you will face problems 🙂 I didn’t check other special chars if any also makes trouble.

cheers,
