Setting Master User & User Account as same info

I was attempting to set up TVHeadend & link it to XBMC-PVR last night. I managed to set up the TV tuners and find the channels, but then got stuck with XBMC getting refused permission to connect. I then added a user account for XBMC (with permissions for streaming) and on further reflection I realise this may be the source for the following issues, as I used the exact same login/pass as I did when installing TVHeadend. The user account still didn't allow XBMC to connect so I further played with the settings and used the web interface to set a recording going. When I then cancelled this TVHeadend appeared to crash, as the web interface timed out. Following a restart I cannot log into the web interface, even 100% using the same login I entered in the inital setup.

How might I fix this mess? Thanks.

Help! I can’t login to the web user interface.
If you build Tvheadend from source and just execute it, it won’t let anyone in. The rationale behind this is that I (Andreas) think it is bad to have services running with wide open administrative access.

If you start Tvheadend with the ‘-C’ argument. A default user with no user-name or password will be created. Make sure that you later edit this via the Configuration / Access control tab in the web ui.

If you installed the Tvheadend debian package you should have been asked for a superuser username + password during the install. This super user account can not be modified from within Tvheadend itself. If you want to change it, you need to reconfigure the Debian package. To do that, execute the following line in a command prompt:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure hts-tvheadend
