Hi, I want to reset the CUPS password. Actually I don't remember giving one but it won't accept a blank password. Where is the password stored and how can I edit it. I have tried logging in as root, but it is not accepting it too. Please help -- Puneit Singh 0091-9350832020 _____________________________ Registered Linux User #431278 Registered Linux Machine #336341

It is set using "lppasswd", and is stored in /etc/cups/passwd.md5. A blank password its not a good idea. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
