Hi
Seem to have forgotton the user and admin password I setup on my Humax for ‘Media & File Server Bundle v4’ …. schoolboy error I know.
Have a good look here and on avforums but cant seem to find anywhere that explains how to reset it.
Any ideas?
Hi
I have loaded the amazing media file sharing bundle and can now play recordings from The Foxsat on my pc etc but cannot log into the web interface. This happened abruptly – up pops a user name and password box with “The server foxsat-hdr at Foxsat-HDR requires a username and password”. I have tried “humaxftp” and “0000” but to no avail! Anyway of resetting or fixing? Thanks
Do you have access to the HDR using telnet or FTP ?
If you can access with ftp/telnet you can go back to an earlier version of your mongoose set up. With luck this won’t have the password specified.
Using FTP or telnet navigate to the directory Foxsat-HDR/opt/etc
You should see two mongoose config files called ‘mongoose.conf’ and ‘mongoose.conf.old’
If ‘mongoose.conf.old’ dates from before you set the password it should be password free.
To restore it, rename the current ‘mongoose.conf’ to something else like ‘xmongoose.conf’. Then restore the earlier set up by renaming ‘mongoose.conf.old’ as ‘mongoose.conf’
Stop and start mongoose using ‘service toggle mongoose’ and then try your web browser again.
I’m sure there’s probably a neater way, but I just tried this and it worked for me.
Brilliant!! Worked for me too! Thank you very much
