Witchita 1 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I can't log in to the Emby Server on my Synology NAS. Has worked fine for couple years. Now get "Invalid username/password". Tried password reset but have no idea how to find the "var" file. Any help would be greatly appreciated- I am clueless about computers. /var/packages/EmbyServer/var/passwordreset.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchita 1 Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 I can't log-in to Emby Server- invalid username/password. This started after replacing my router. I have requested to change password, but I do not know where/how to find the "var" file on my Synology NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hi, have you taken a look at the instructions here? Emby Server Data Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchita 1 Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 I have looked at the instructions. To be honest, I do not understand them, and I am worried I will mess things up even more trying to follow the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3321 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 You need to SSH into your Synology.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchita 1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Thank you GrimReaper. That is the same place Luke directed me to. I really do not understand it, and am uncomfortable delving that deep on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not feel comfortable doing it, as no one does at first, but you really have no choice but to learn SSH and how to use the basic command line. Your alternative is to forget NAS boxes which run linux under the covers and run a Windows OS on something that fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
