Ensure you clear your browser cache and try again.
If you need to reset the password, recommend you see
reset user password.

Tried clearing cache and all else - nothing.
Tried using "/var/hda/platform/html/script/reset-user-password -u <username>" through ssh. just gives me the error:
"ERROR: Cannot find user with username '-u' in your server. Exiting."

I'm sorry you are having trouble.

Did a clean reinstall, nothing else worked. I'm giving Amahi 11 a last chance. Nothing but problems so far.. But I've had a fun 5 years with Amahi.
You can mark as closed or share a work-around if you have one if another user stumbles upon this thread. I couldn't find any help to my problem
thx

This may be an issue with the Express CD, which I presume you used.
The Minimal Install CD works best in my opinion.
When attempting to reset the user password:
Code: Select all
/var/hda/platform/html/script/reset-user-password -u
did you leave a space after the -u? Sometimes scripts want a space and other times they do not.
Recommend you navigate to the directory, then run the script:
Code: Select all
cd /var/hda/platform/html/script
reset-user-password -u username
