I lost my ATV2 remote and have been using the app on my phone for several months. I have 2 ATV2's and one won't let me log in anymore as it gives me a HTTP 401 error saying I gave it an invalid username and password. Where can I ssh into my ATV2 box and reset the username and password for my http configuration. I've spend several hours searching and can't find it.
Thanks in advance.

it should be stored in userdata/guisettings.xml. You can ssh to that file and look for "<webserverpassword>" to see the old password and/or change it.

Thanks for the reply Ned. I somehow missed this when I was browsing through the file. This is exactly what I was looking for. I thought I was going to have to go buy a remote.
