Hello: A couple of months ago I reviewed the passwords I was using and changed them. One of them, of course, was the one on my Palm TX/ JPilot. I even added a \*hint\*, something I had never ever done in more than 20 years of using Palms. TL;DR: I have forgotten my PW and the hint does not bring up anything useful. I can use the TX and access my JPilot installation but I am now locked out of my private records. Can’t recall ever going through something like this and in just a week it has happened with my Palm \*and\* my NAS’ admin PW. Fortunately I was able to mount the drive in my main box and edit the necessary file. I’d appreciate a simple solution/suggestion. eg: which file do I have to nuke in my Linux JPilot installation to have access to my records? Thanks in advance. Best, JHM

The password hash is written to session_id in jpilot.rc.  Do you have an older jpilot.rc file to use with the old password?

Good morning Judd: Judd Montgomery wrote: > … written to session_id in jpilot.rc. > > … older jpilot.rc file to use with the old password? Yes ! That did it. 8^) The old one was blank, a consequence of something that happened some time ago (a hard reset or something like that). Which prompted me to fix that *and* review the other passwords. Thank you very much for your input. Best, JHM
