Did you do this from the computer running Emby Server?  You will need to access the file system in order to reset the password.

What browser? You don't receive this message?

[jonny761012 0]

no this message

Are you on your local LAN when you reset the password?

What is the URL in your browser when you're at the forget password button?

@Luke that server is throwing these console errors.  Do you have any idea.

 

apiclient.js?v=4.4.3.0:1 POST http://xxxxxxxx.newwan.top:8096/emby/Users/ForgotPassword 500 (Internal Server Error)

Promise.then (async)

My only other idea would be removing the password directly from the users.db.

We will need to edit these post also.

 

I know on my external connection I at least get this pop up.

I am getting that now for OPs site.  Will remove url now.

@jonny761012 if you did this via a local connection does it work now?

Last resort would be the database.

how to removing the password directly from the users.db.? ubuntu18 system

Hi,

Personally I'd copy the known hash key from a user that I knew the password to and put that in your account password.  Then you can login and change it.

You have to know how to work with a SQL database however to do this which for this task is not hard at all.

Use your preferred SQLite viewer and clear the users password.  Emby needs to be shut down. Browse the LocalUsersv2 table and clear everything inbetween the quotes for your Name
