How do I clear out the password for the place shifter?

[rwc]

Ok, here's one...and I think I might be SOL, but maybe somebody will know...

I'm traveling on business, but have the placeshifter (Woo-hoo!)

I'm jonesing for some tv, so I fire it up--and lo&behold, my password doesn't work.

I can log into my server remotely (via logmein.com), but when I do sage is always just black--so I can't reset the password

SO, my question is, without going through sage--Is there a way for me to reset the password or clear it out until I get back home?

(Is it stored in the properties file? Maybe some command line option?)

Thanks!

You could probably clear the password in the properties file... but that would require exiting SageTV & then the user needs a password, but you can't set the password manually because it is in encrypted form. So...

Maybe you can't see anything in the SageTV window when using logmein because SageTV is using 3D Acceleration? If so, you can change that in the properties file by exiting SageTV & setting this property:
ui/accelerated_rendering=false

Or, maybe there is a logmein setting that allows you to see the SageTV window. Or... if SageTV is using FSE in full scren mode, then exit full screen mode.
