Forgotten password for WebIF

[makem]

I know I have asked this question may years ago but I can't find the answer. How do I reset the password please?

Via the Telnet/Webshell menu, option "passwd".

I am using ubuntu, I have installed putty. Using the ip address of the box to log in I try, 'root' with the default password but access is denied. Not sure where to go from there, or, what you mean by, 'Telnet/Webshell menu'.

Thanks for you prompt help prpr.

I have managed to get in and remove the password having worked out what you meant. Thank you.

The menu isn't just accessible via telnet.
See this post for what you may find a useful alternative access method.

Thread '[webshell] Command line access from web browser'

Feb 9, 2016

Here's a new package that gives you command line access to your Humax from a web browser as an alternative to using telnet. Once installed, it's accessed via the Diagnostics menu using the icon that will appear at the bottom right. It even works in maintenance mode (although there is no menu bar at the top then) and I've successfully used it to run a disk check.

I've had this running on my box for 6 months or so without problems but one of the people testing it on their box has reported that it does strange things in Safari with old versions of IOS (fine with IOS 9 though). Thanks...

I will look into that Luke, thank you.

I am currently resurecting a box that has not been used for many years. I am now stuck on how to change the https://rs.hpkg.tv/acct/ emaill address. I check the page:

Remote Scheduling

wiki.hummy.tv

Which says: this option is available from the Web-If :- Main Menu >> Settings >> Settings for rs package.

But I don't see anywhere there to change the email address.

Edit:
I am using a dark mode and every line of the settings page is bright yellow which masks out the white text. I opened every line and found the rs package setting.

Thanks again.
