recover password for login *narf*

#1 Post by dna » 12 Dec 2021, 16:37

Hi there,

I installed ESPeasy on a ESP8266 some weeks ago, all fine, great tool :D
But now, I can't remember the password (so dumb).
Is there any way to recover or reset it?
I have direct access to it, so I can use USB to connect.
Is there a way to access security.dat, which seems to contain all the password-stuff?
I configured already 12 one-wire-sensors with their id's, some switches and did a lot of configuration, so I would like to keep the setup.

greetings, dna

If you still have the serial port enabled, you can connect to it via a terminal program and give a command to set your password.

Code: Select all

password,MySecretPassword
save
