If your user name and password is locked out of the Web UI and the default user name `admin` and password `adminadmin` is also failing, the steps to recover access are:
1. Log in to the machine the client is on as the user that qbittorrent runs as, either at the console or over a SSH connection.
1. Log in to the machine the client is on as the user that qbittorrent runs as, either at the console or over an SSH connection.
2. Navigate to `~/.config/qBittorrent/` and edit the qBittorrent configuration file `qBittorrent.conf`.
3. Locate the entry of `WebUI\Password_ha1` and change it to this:
```ini
WebUI\Password_ha1=@ByteArray(5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69)
```
the password will be set to `secret`.
* If you're using qbittorrent version < 4.2.0, locate the entry of `WebUI\Password_ha1` and remove the entire line.
* If you're using qbittorrent version ≥ 4.2.0, locate the entry of `WebUI\Password_PBKDF2` and remove the entire line.
4. You should then be able to login the WebUI using your usual username and the password `secret`. Remember to change it back to your preferred password.
3. Save and close the file and restart qBittorrent.
4. You should then be able to login the WebUI using your usual username and the default password `adminadmin`.
You could also try copy/pasting the existing value from WebUI\Password_ha1=@ByteArray(value) into https://isc.sans.edu/tools/reversehash.html and that could possibly reveal what the original password was.
**Remember to change it back to your preferred password.**
