how to reset password?

[vincentfkc]

I have utorrent-server-3.0-25053 installed

I later forgot my password and couldn't find the config file to reset it (no where under the installed folder)

thanx

run ps axu | grep utserver and you should see something like

root     28078  5.1  2.1  82052 43832 ?        Ssl  May16 150:15 /usr/bin/utserver -daemon
-configfile /etc/utserver.conf -logfile /var/log/utserver.log -pidfile /var/run/utserver.pid
-settingspath /root/.utserver/

The configfile option tells you where your configuration file is stored. Stop utserver, open the config file. change password, start utserver with the same command above.

Cheers!

I don't think that will work. You can't just shove a password in the config file and have it change. It will be ignored unless you have no settings at all (ie. first run).

There is specific functionality to reset the admin username and password to defaults. This involves placing a file called c.utmr in a configurable directory. This directory is set using the dir_request configuration parameter which *can* be put in the conf file. So, if dir_request isn't set already, put it in utserver.conf, then touch c.utmr in that directory.

question is I dont see the config file anywhere even I ran the command

and no where in the utserver folder

[vincentfkc]

i create one utserver.conf

put

dir_request  /root/utserver/ 

then touch c.utmr in /root/utserver/

password not reset

[vincentfkc]

even I deleted the folder, the password / admin remain

[lithopsian]

dir_request:  /root/utserver/

You'll need to restart utserver, and just to be safe add "-configfile /root/utserver.conf" on the command line.

not work, still ask password, is there anyway to delete the file that stores the password/username?

[vincentfkc]

no solution?

What is the command you type to run utserver?

If the answer is "I double-click on it" then I suggest you switch to Windows OS.
