Hyperion password lost.

Pedro Teixeira · Nov 27th 2020

Hello I forgot the password for the LOGIN of the Hyperion platform with the Hyperbian system.
Is it possible to RESET or recover this passowd from the command line via ssh?

Is there another option?

Hello Lord Gray, thank you very much for your reply.
I'm sorry but this is the first installation I have and I still don't understand it very well.

Code

hyperiond -v --resetPassword

when I insert the following line ... or any other with the command "hyperiond" I get the following message.

hyperion MAIN: <ERROR> The Hyperion Daemon is already running, abort start.

Can you help me?
Thank you.

Lord-Grey · Nov 27th 2020

You need to stop the running instance first.

do a
pkill hyperiond

and the execute the command again

Quote

pkill hyperiond

pkill: killing pid 532 failed: Operation not permitted

:unsure::thumbsdown:
kill hyperion (appears)
-bash: kill: hyperion: arguments must be process or job IDs

Then with (hyperiond -v --resetPassword)
hyperion MAIN: <ERROR> The Hyperion Daemon is already running, abort start.

sudo systemctl stop hyperion
hyperiond -v --resetPassword

Pedro Teixeira · Nov 28th 2020

IT WORKED. Thank you very much to both.

Pedro Teixeira · Nov 28th 2020

Sorry guys, not yet.
I only have access to the Dashboard if I am in command line with the command

Code

hyperiond --userdata /home/pi/.hyperion

If i close Putty, the password field will appear on the web page.

I put "hyperion" in the password

And appear the message
ERROR
No Autorization

Paulchen-Panther · Nov 28th 2020

stop service:

Code

sudo systemctl stop hyperion

remove folder:

Code

sudo rm -rf /home/pi/.hyperion

reboot:

Code

sudo reboot

same issue where it says password reset but cant login still. Any help is much appreciated

Atomicity · Jun 22nd 2021

I am running into the same issue with the webUI indicating ERROR No Authorization after resetting the password to default. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

TPmodding · Jun 22nd 2021

Atomicity do you have the problem with API https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/issues/1251 or with webUI?

Atomicity · Jun 23rd 2021

My apologies, I confused the two. This is with the webUI, I have very little experience with all the json stuff.
