Change password via config files?

[cyanogenic]

I changed my password last night for Syncthing (away from the default admin & changeme credentials). I thought i had saved it with my password manager but... nope! What files do i need to look for to edit the password manually via the files? is this even possible?

@cyanogenic Could you try a restore from backup, and use the old password? If you could do that withouta bunch of file loss, that might get you there.

Aha... an update from 12 hours ago, that has worked.

Thanks!

How do you change the passphrase for Syncthing? In the "1st time usage" it says the defaults are admin/changeme and to change it right away, but not where or how.

@loudlemur it's in the docs

Thanks, @jdaviescoates. It is in the documentation. It might be a bit intimidating as you need to go into "Advanced" in the settings, and then delete a hash that is in there for the old passphrase.

The "1st Use" instruction in Cloudron ought to indicate how to reach this field where you change the passphrase.

I used admin/changeme but still can't log in. How to login at the first time user?

You might need to clear your browser's cache after changing the password. Or try visiting it with a different browser.
