Password Reset

Can you please make a password reset an option on the Sync icon in the taskbar. I never setup a password and now after the update (I was just using the one folder I setup before I kept getting the password user NAG screen) I cannot even sync anything. I tried to install 2.0 but same thing "Username and Password" when I never set one up.

 

I have searched all the helps and have no .conf file to reset the password so if you could please integrate a password reset direct into your program instead of all this fiddling it would be best. 

 

Thank you

What operating system are you on? ...as this makes a difference as to where your config file will be located - if indeed one is present at all, if not, you can create a new, very simple/basic config file and run Sync with that to change/reset the Web UI password:
 
For example, to remove the WebUI password, run Sync with the following config file (i.e. with the --config <path_to_config_file> or /config <path_to_config_file> command line switch depending upon your OS)
 

{
  "storage_path" : "path_to_where_sync's_settings_are_stored",
  "webui" : {
    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888"
  }
}


...or to specify a new Web UI password;
 

{
  "storage_path" : "path_to_where_sync's_settings_are_stored",
  "webui" : {
    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
    "login" : "desired_username",
    "password" : "desired_password"
  }
}
