Hi guys,

I'm running RPi2 with OpenELEC and TVHeadend. Works fine so far, but I have a little (self-made) issue:
When creating the admin user in the WebUI I obviously made a mistake and now cannot logon to the WebUI anymore. Can someone tell me whether it is possible to somehow fix this situation with a SSH console, e. g. having a look at the PW in a config file or to reset the users, anything that I can get access to the WebUI again?

Best regards

Stefan

Use ps -ef (or -w if -ef fails) to find out Tvheadend's pid and any arguments it's running as (copy and paste the ps line if you want), then kill it, kill <pid>, and manually start it again using the same arguments, but this time append --noacl to the end.

e.g.

Lines starting with $ indicate the command to be ran..

$ ps -ef | grep tvheadend

root        535     1  2 Aug01 ?        06:36:05 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g video

$ kill 535

$ /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g video --noacl

Make your changes (save them too) and repeat the same steps again but without --noacl, or reboot (easiest). Note that the command above is an example, yours WILL differ so check the ps output carefully!

Hello Mark,

thanks for your answer.

EDIT: yes, it worked, I had to do the restart immediately after the kill, before it auto restarts itself with old settings.
Really great, thx a lot, that saved my day!

// I think that would work like you described, but everytime I kill the process, it reappears with a new PID. Can I somehow prevent this "auto-restart"?

Best regards

Stefan
