You locked the qBittorrent user interface and forgot the password you used?
Don't worry, you can recover from this.
## Windows
* Kill qBittorrent
* Look for **qbittorrent.ini** file on your hard disk. It is usually located under _C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\qBittorrent_ or _C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\qBittorrent_
* Remove the following lines:
```c++
[Locking]
password=<encrypted_password>
locked=true
```
* Save the file
* Start qBittorrent again
## Linux
* Kill qBittorrent
* Edit _~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf_
* Remove the following lines (note they might be anywhere in the file, not necessarily adjacent):
```
WebUI\Password_ha1=@ByteArray(####################)
WebUI\Username=admin
```
* Save the file
* Start qBittorrent again
## Mac OS X
* Kill qBittorrent
* Open a terminal and run the following command:
```shell
defaults delete com.qbittorrent.qBittorrent Locking.locked; defaults delete com.qbittorrent.qBittorrent Locking.password
```
* Start qBittorrent again
The user interface should not be locked anymore. Next time you lock it, it will ask you to choose a password again.
