I have followed the below instructions and once the Web-UI is back up typing deluge as the default password still tell me wrong password entered. I am at a complete loss at this point.
Deluge 1:201.1-8
RebornOS Arch based fully updated
How do I change the password?
In the Web UI: 1. Click on Preferences. 2. Select the Interface category. 3. Fill out the fields under Password. 4. Click Change button.
How can I reset forgotten password?
Stop the Web UI before modifying the web.conf file.
Edit web.conf in config and delete the entire pwd_sha1 line or use quick method via command-line e.g.:
sed -i.bak "/pwd_sha1/d" ~/.config/deluge/web.conf
Start the Web UI and the password will have been reset to default password deluge.
Decide to move web.conf to the desktop after shutting down Deluge and let Deluge just recreated once relaunched and WebUI reenabled. That finally did the trick. No idea what the issue was since the instructions above are pretty straightforward.
