I haven't been messing around with media servers for awhile, but I just set up a WD PR4100 and an NVidia Shield TV box. Had Plex running on that set up, but wahted to try Emby and compare. Installation of the server seemed to go fine and I was setting up libraries, but when it said it was finished and I tried logging in with the username I set up during configuration I keep getting the message that the username or password are invalid. I tried the Forgot Password button, but I couldn't figure out how to get to the directory given and get the passwordreset.txt file. I'm a fairly sophisticated PC user, and even used Unix workstations ages ago, but the things I tried with ssh didn't work and there seem to be no step by step instructions around. All the forums say use ssh and "go to" the directory and get the file.

 

I have no clue why it would say my password was invalid. I had set it up 30 seconds earlier and its unlikely I keep mistyping it. Is there an easy way of just resetting everything?

Well, never mind. I guess I did mis-type the password. I usually put a number at the end, and I guess when I set the password up I didn't. Things are fine. Looking forward to messing around with Emby after being away for  awhile.
