Forgot/lost Admin Password

[MOOKBUFU]

I’m certain there must be a way to recover my idiotic forgotten admin password- if anyone has some direction for such it would be greatly appreciated

Could try opening the database file in some editor. I’d make a copy of it first and mess with the copy. *Michael Chambers - Ohio Radio Scanner Network* Founder/Manager/Support ***@***.**** ***@***.***>

Thank you!

I know this is an old thread, but here's how you can reset a lost admin password.
You'll need to stop rdio-scanner while you do this.
Normal warning that you should backup the database before you go messing with it.
You'll need sqlite installed on your machine. For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install sqlite
Then you can run
sqlite3 rdio-scanner.db
In sqlite, update the admin password to blank, which resets it back to the default:
update rdioScannerConfigs set val='' where key='adminpassword'
Then exit sqlite:
.exit
Start rdio-scanner back up, and you can log in with the default password.

Another way is to use the command line option listed in the pdf document supplied with the release versions. Stop the program and restart with the password change option and the new password . I don’t have that document in front of me now to list the command. ~Bob

So, RTFM... I should have started there. LOL!
Here's the excerpt from the docs:

[rdio@pc-linux rdio-scanner]$ ./rdio-scanner -h
Usage of ./rdio-scanner:
-admin_password string
change admin password

Always good to have a backup method! LOL! ~Bob
