How to reset password?

DJay-X commented 6 years ago

Deleting the auth.json under /home/pi/.homebridge did the job for me.

How I can delete auth.json, I don't understand.

oznu commented 5 years ago

rm -rf auth.json

Dedcad commented 5 years ago

Nothing changed. My problem is that after changing the admin password and creating a new user, I turned on the Basic Form authorization. Everything worked. After I turned on the form authorization method, after that none of my passwords is accepted.

Maybe you can change the authorization method by SSH? The plugin was used in the assembly of SprutHub

Same here... deleting auth.json didn't do it.

Once you delete the file and restart. Use admin/admin to get in

Hi i have similar problem... how can i delete this file on the mac? Even with extFS for Mac it appears to be read-only

cjpatoilo commented 1 year ago

To solve the issue:

  1. Delete the ~/.homebridge/auth.json, for example, rm -rf ~/.homebridge/auth.json
  2. Reinstall the server, for example, sudo hb-service uninstall && sudo hb-service install

ps: maybe works for you sudo hb-service rebuild --all. I don't try this command but seems to make sense for me.
