The DLNA in WD my cloud is the twonky mediaserver.
It can be managed by a web interfaces (at port 9000) ,this interface can be secured by an username and a password.There isn’t a verification of the password in the forma typo error means a lost access.
A system reset of the whole WD mycloud resets twonky to the default value (no password )
but I could regain access to the twonky web interfaces in the following way:
-
in the Mycloud web interface: stop the media server
-
enable ssh access
-
connect with ssh and edit (there is a vi editor) the file: /CacheVolume/twonkymedia/twonkyserver.ini
and blank the username and password in the lines:
for protection of the web config pages
accessuser=
for protection of the web config pages
accesspwd=
- in the Mycloud web interface: restart the media server
I know that all this requires some knoweledge of linux and shell usage; and I don’t reccomend
this way to people not at ease with ssh and the shell.
