After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!

 Have you tried deleting and re-creating the account? Otherwise you could stop elogd, edit the password file with a text editor, and restart elogd.

You will not loose your logbook data if you have access rights to the file system where the "elogd" program writes it's data.

The easiest way is to edit there password file directly and then restart "elogd".

But even if you do not dare to edit the files directly, you still can solve the issue from the web interface:

  • Create a new account, e.g. user "admin2"
  • While logged in as "admin", make this user an administrator: go to "Change config file", add "Admin user = admin, admin2"
  • Now log off and then login as "admin2"
  • Check that you can do administration, then remove user "admin"
  • Create a new user "admin" with proper "Full name" and "Email"
  • Now log off and then login as "admin"
  • Check that you can do administration, then remove user "admin2"

That should work. Good luck!
