This will be a long post.
I installed HAOS into a VM on the official synology VM manager package on my synology DS218+ using the haos v6.0 OVA file (which may be part of the mistake if there was one, blindly following a tutorial). I could import my config from an older install and happily play with HA several days ago, starting telegram integrations and some.
I had kept my HA web interface open in firefox and this morning I tried to update (via the web interface in configuration menu) HA core (2022.04.6 to 04.7) and HAOS (6.0 to 7.6), apparently unsuccessfully. The HA restarted and now I am locked out of it, " Incorrect username or password".
It happens whether I access it through {VM_ip_adress}:8123 or homeassistant:8123 or homeassistant.local:8123 on firefox, my usual browser. My HAOS samba share is also impossible to sign in.
Here is what I tried:
- when firing up the HA console I first saw briefly a message such as “VFS failure” or something like that flashing by
- With this I tried to reset the password for all possible user names I could remember in the HA console (which I access through “connect” on the Synology VM Manager): I get an “unknown error, see supervisor” message on the console on the ha > prompt. .
- I tried auth cache in ha console and command executed successfully, no effect.
- I tried to clear cache+cookies on firefox
- I tried to access through Brave, my secondary browser (which I had not used before to access HA if I’m not mistaken)
- I tried to access the samba share files of HAOS (I work on win10), but the signing in is refused too
- I tried to ssh into {VM_IP_address} via an ubuntu console on my WindowsSystemLinux: connection refused. I haven’t tried all possible users name there through because I think it does not make sense.
I am totally lost, starting to loose my patience with HA, and would appreciate help!
