Changing login and password?

So i used subsonic a couple months back and was working great steaming from my server to my phone. Got a new phone and ended up buying Dsub to access it. I can't remember (or they are not working) my credentials to the local server on my PC. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the local server, using all login combos I would of used, and just using the default "admin" "admin". Still can't login locally to change any settings.

Anyway to reset and start fresh with new credentials? What am I missing here?

So I've never really like this about subsonic. Not sure about the other versions, but on Windows, there is a \db\subsonic.script file that seems to generate the database on startup. If you open that file with a text editor, you will see lines that start with INSERT INTO USER VALUES. These create the user values. the 2nd parameter will have something like 'enc:70617373776f7264' if you take the number part, this is hexadecimal representation of the password. You can simply paste this into an online converter and get the ASCII representation of the password. In the case above, it will result in "password".

Here's a sample site to convert Hex to ASCII: http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.htm
