How I fixed my napp-it operator password

I recently tried to log into a filer using napp-it where I forgot the operator password. To fix it, I reset the value_operatorpw password field at line 9 in napp-it.cfg to an empty value, like this:
select_allmenues|no|
select_defuser|admin|
select_editable|yes|
select_info|no|
select_lang|en|
select_os|auto|
value_adminpw|!U2pfRaGPFUh.!UIetruNm9aeI!UFuphdA0AQLQ|
value_host||
value_operatorpw||
value_smtp-from||
value_smtp-pw||
value_smtp-to||
value_smtp-user||
value_smtp||
I then re-logged into napp-it using http://file-server:81 and reset it. This time I wrote it down. The napp-it administrative tools were in:
  • /var/web-gui/wwwroot/cgi-bin/napp-it/admin.pl
  • /var/web-gui/wwwroot/cgi-bin/napp-it/admin-lib.pl
I started there and worked my way through the scripts to figure out where things were.
