You have a Twonky media server running – you went on summer vacation and now you don’t remember any more your Twonky Media Server password. Here is how to reset Twonky media server password.

Lets support your Twonky Server is accessible at 192.168.1.5 IP address.

Open Browser and type http://192.168.1.5:9000/rpc/reset
Press Enter and you will be able to see a message in the browser tab confirming that Twonky media server has been reseted.
Open another tab in your browser and type http://192.168.1.5:9000/ and start configuring your twonkey server. It will not bring any password prompt.

Be sure to replace 192.168.1.5 IP address with actual Twonky Media Server IP address.

This procedure on a single bay My Cloud generates the following message when run: reset to defaults!

Edit to add: If the above method for resetting the username/password for Twonky doesn’t work then see the following post for editing the twonkyserver.ini file using SSH (or similar method):

One may have to search for the twonkyserver.ini. On my first gen My Cloud it was located in /DataVolume/cache/twonkymedia/. After removing the user name from accessuser= and the password from accesspwd= and then saving the file, I had to turn the Twonky server Off in the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings > Media then turn it back On. That cleared the Twonky username/password on the Twonky administration page for me on a first gen single bay My Cloud when the other method above didn’t work.
