csystem Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Greetings: Been playing around with the MK4 fw and am able to ssh into the pineapple and using "passwd" can change the root pw for ssh logins as usual. But since the web UI is not being served over SSH, passwd has no effect on the UI password. Where is the config file where the web UI password is written? Thanks!

Thanks! most likely requires a reboot for web UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csystem Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 That works, thanks, I did not think a http auth was affected by the passwd command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 CSystem, Issuing the passwd command updates the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. uhttpd uses these files (think of them like config files) to promt for a password. That means that you would need to run "/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart" OR simply restart the pineapple. Done ;) Best, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
