So i just installed deluge 1.0.3 and told it to use a password and just assumed it would use the one i was using before. Apparently it doesn't and there's some other default password. What is it?
Thanks

Default Password?
Re: Default Password?
I'm assuming you're talking about the web ui password?
In which case the default password is "deluge"

Re: Default Password?
I figured that would be it but i tried that and it didn't work...it's set to start in system tray so i can't start it up to change the password. Is there anything else i can do?
Re: Default Password?
I think he's talking about "Password protect system tray" in Preferences->Interfacejohnnyg wrote:I'm assuming you're talking about the web ui password?

the password is encrypted in the gtkui.conf in ~/config/deluge, under tray_password, you could set the lock_tray to 0 to disable it and set a new password
Re: Default Password?
Thanks! That worked. I have no idea what the password was...it was a fresh installation. Is that a bug?
Anyways, to help anyone else with this problem out, while deluge is not running, find:
and change it to:

Re: Default Password?
I just tried it now, it seems that the default password is blank; i.e. you don't enter anything, you just hit OK.
Maybe it should warn you when the password is blank? That would prevent people from forgetting to set the password.
It's also disturbing how easy it was to bypass the system tray password, I guess that feature is just for people to stop average joe from messing with deluge.

Re: Default Password?
Yes does seem a bit simple to bypass but then what security does it really offer anyway? If someone is at your computer they can get to all your downloaded files and deluge configs anyway. Like you say I suppose it is just to prevent the casual user, little kids etc from playing.

That was another thing i tried that didn't work but i have no idea why it would be different if it for you.johnnyg wrote:I just tried it now, it seems that the default password is blank; i.e. you don't enter anything, you just hit OK.
Re: Default Password?
hmm it would have been interesting to have saved the sha1 hash.
either way I think a warning would prevent that from ever happening again.
