Scott750 29 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Today I unable to connect to emby using 2 of my administrator accounts in the web client (IE and Chrome) or web client on my Android phone. I keep getting "Invalid Username and/or Password" When I look in the logs it says that the user does not have access to the device. But I can log into Emby thru my Roku and Emby for WMC. When I go to: http://app.emby.media/index.html and sign in with my emby connect, I'm able to only login with a limited guest account. I don't have access to manage the server. For my 2 admin accounts I don't have any passwords setup for them, just a user name. I tried doing reset password, but when I go to: http://192.xxx.x.x:8096/web/forgotpasswordpin.html, I'm immediately taken to http://192.xxx.x.x:8096/web/login.html. And there is no place to enter the PIN, just to select from one of my Users. I had this problem once before where 1 of my admin accounts wouldn't login. So I connected with the other admin account and when I checked the first account, it showed none of the devices that it could connect to checked. So I re-checked the devices and that account was able to connect again. Is there anyway to gain access to managing my server? Logs attached.

Solution Luke 37271 Posted October 26, 2015 Solution Share Posted October 26, 2015 you're going to have to shutdown the server, find the program data / config /XXX/policy.xml file and set EnableAllDevices to true. XXX = your user id which you may not be able to determine so this will be trial and error. going forward i am just going to take this away so that administrators cannot accidentally lock themselves out. administrators will just have access to all devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott750 29 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks Luke, that worked. So the only reason I unchecked access from all devices was my little sister is using one of the accounts without admin privileges on her Roku 2 and I didn't want her to sign in using an admin user. Although someone on a Roku couldn't manage the server right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
