Invalid Username or Password.

[deathleecher]

After i updated my "binhex-qbittorrentvpn" on Nov 22, 2023.

I cant login to qBittorrent Web UI. Keep getting the message Invalid Username or Password.

Was using Admin / adminadmin

I have tried adding WebUI\username=admin and WebUI\password=adminadmin

also

[Locking]
locked=false

Without any luck.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

1) Downgrade to the prior version.
2) Login using the user:pass you used before.
3) Change the user:pass to something that is not admin:adminadmin.
4) Upgrade.

How do you change the default password?

Hi,

I just installed the bin-hex Qbittorrent and came across this same issue.
Has something to do random initial passwords being generated. Not sure where to go to look for them.

HOWEVER, the solution I found on the boards is to add the following line to the Qbit Config file:

WebUI\Password_PBKDF2="@ByteArray(ARQ77eY1NUZaQsuDHbIMCA==:0WMRkYTUWVT9wVvdDtHAjU9b3b7uB8NR1Gur2hmQCvCDpm39Q+PsJRJPaCU51dEiz+dTzh8qbPsL8WkFljQYFQ==)"

This forces the initial password to be adminadmin.

Hope this helps,

The random password generated at install it's shown at portainer log, i assume that docker has a way to view it also

Assuming you started the docker image using 'docker-compose up qbittorrent', then the screen you started it on will be dedicated to the docker image's startup log. And it will have the randomly generated password listed on the screen.
Otherwise, you can use the docker command

Code: Select all

docker logs -f qbittorrent

Then use ^c to get back to the console
