    what do I do in order to a user that is connected, he can change his password?
    the problem is that the users usually need to change the password but theirselves in the application extplorer.
    Is it possible? I have tried many options but ir is impossible.
    Please, your help will be appreciated

    Hi
    I’m trying to reset exTplorer password too, on a Thecus 4100Pro device
    Actually, I’m unable to find /var/www/html/extp/config/.htusers.php file
    I don’t have /var/www/html directory , “find” command is unable to find html or extp starting from /

    Any idea ?

      Can you find an apache configuration file? After that found, find an exTplorer location from apache configuration.

      Regards.

    I understand the code, but what am I suppost to do with it?
    – Replace my entire .htusers.php with this?
    – just the 614….. code with 6afed…….. and use ‘yournewpassword’ as the new admin password (didn’t work).

    How am I suppost to use this?

      Hi Mark,
