Treecrusher 3 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I have my Emby server configured to only have one user account that can administer the server and I hide that account from the log in screen. Normally the browser on my server is always logged into this account and after a power failure today I cannot for the life of me remember what the user name is for that hidden account. I do know what the password is as it is saved in my browser, just not the user name. Is there a way to find the user name in the system files somewhere? I have read that I can delete the user.db file, but will that remove other information such as watched status on other accounts? Thanks in advance.

Treecrusher 3 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) It was actually easier than I suspected. There is a list of all users at ...\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\config\users Should've gone digging before asking for help sorry.

Luke 37008 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 You'd have to open up the user database - users.db. Do you know how to do that? Don't you see the users on the login screen, or did you hide them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
