I set up a shared folder using SMB/CIFS but I have forgot the password and username.
Is there I way to recover or change the password of the folder?
I'd also like to know if I can find out the username to login with too?
Thank you for your help,
Can I recover or change the password of an SMB/CIFs shared folder?

Just use another user and grant him/her privileges to that folder.

Hi macom
This is a fantastic idea, thank you for your help.
My understanding of OMV is some what limited, but you have promoted me to have a further poke around in the OMV backend.
I have located the user with read/write privileges on the folder I want to access.
If I select 'User' (in the side bar) > select the username with the read/write privileges > edit - I can see a place to update the password (same as the image below).
If I update the password there will I then be able to access the folder?
Thank you for your help. -

You could try it but I believe this is limited to the shell access password.

You won't lock yourself out if you don't forget the password.

I decided to delete the folders as there wasn't anything in them important.
I am now trying to set up a private folder but I am having problems.
Please see here for more information - Need help setting up a private folder [More details inside] -
If any of this involves SMB/CIFS I can't help you. I do not use it here.

It is also the password that is used for smb access.
