Hi There,
I am trying to login as admin at the repeater via my companion T1000-e device with the latest Meshcore firmware. I am using both the web client (https://app.meshcore.nz/) and the Meshcore iOS app.
I have added the security settings for the repeater at the repeater section, but I after several tries, I am not able to login with the credentials set.
I do see that packets arrive at the debug log on the repeater when I try to login, but no login is established. I have used admin and guest credentials but same result.
I am using the Waveshare LoRa hat setup in combination with Raspberry PI.
The repeater works fine and is discovered by the companion device and can be pinged.
Any clue?
Are you using the default password? Thanks.
I have tried default password, but also others. Simply can not login.
You have not set it up right. I did the same first time too
Best to start again

Ok, what do you mean?
You should be able to configure it in the yaml file and set your own credentials right?
I tried that didn't work. Ended up setting it up properly and never had an issue with it when I do it right. And to be fair it's really quick tooOn 26 Mar 2026, at 20:25, H00die.Gr3y @.***> wrote:h00die-gr3y left a comment (rightup/pyMC_Repeater#161)

@Thisone2 ,
Help me out here. How did you configure it properly?
Morning,
Sorry I have been out of the country on holiday.
These are my notes for setting it up
Log in as a normal user, don't change the directory unless told to do so below
Update package list and install all updates
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
enter pi hardware config (this is needed to enable the SLI using option 3)
sudo raspi-config
Install Git if not already on
sudo apt install git -y
Clone Git Rep (this is for pyMC_Repeater)
git clone https://github.com/rightup/pyMC_Repeater.git
Changed dir to the new install
cd pyMC_Repeater
Change to the Dev branch (not always needed, can change branch at any point but would need to reinstall)
git switch dev
configure the system for first run2
sudo ./manage.sh
Select Option 1 to install then follow the onscreen instructions, once done open a web browser this should then take you through the rest of the setup
Give me a shout if you have issues
Thanks

Thanks @Thisone2, I already followed your setup and my repeater technically works fine.
I was just wondering how the
admin_passwordandguest_passwordsworks. Checked the current code base, and for what I can see, these settings are not implemented yet.I did a full search and
admin_passwordis not used anywhere in the code and that applies for other configuration settings in the config file likeidentitiesroles such asroom_serversandcompanions.So that probably explains why logging in via a companion device is not working
I do see that you are on the dev branch, so let me try that because I am on the main branch.
I had this same problem last week. Main branch install does not take you through the first run experience where you get the web interface that allows you to set the password. Main branch install also doesn't seem to recognize the password even after manually configuring it in the yaml file.
Also note that even the dev branch does not seem to recognize any guest password even after the admin password is enabled and demonstrated to work.
I am actually now on companion branch but I wrote that when on the dev one and once you are up and running you can use the GUI to change branch and update On 27 Mar 2026, at 16:55, porkrind @.***> wrote:porkrind left a comment (rightup/pyMC_Repeater#161)

I am not sure if this is relevant.. just trying to contribute to assist (newbie)
with my RAK Wireless Tag i can log into my pyMC repeater via admin ONLY, get status info but fails to load neighbours.
Both via Mobile App and Webapp. Running a Luckbox Ultra with an E22P on a hat
Thanks everybody, I switched to the development branch and reinstalled the repeater.
It solved my login problems.
I am on:
Repeater: v1.0.8 Dev Build: 67
Core: v1.0.7
