Erich, right, this is exactly wrong access permission. Slawek, these logs
show you are not giving Webconf the right Username and Password .

A normal Webconf connection would show: notice the "admin" here as I'm
using admin as my username ...

 192.168.1.154 192.168.1.254 admin [20/Dec/2025:12:39:32 -0500] "GET
/pix/180px-LEAFProjectLogo-Landscape.png HTTP/1.1" 200 14458 "
https://192.168.1.254/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"

When I voluntarily enter admin and a wrong password to connect to Webconf,
this is what I get: notice no admin here it is replaced by "-"

 192.168.1.154 192.168.1.254 - [20/Dec/2025:12:43:46 -0500] "GET /
HTTP/1.1" 401 347 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"

Erich, he should be captive of the "Webconf password page" when he opens up
Webconf for the first time, and can get out of it only by giving a username
and password.
So Slawek you must have given Webconf an admin and password, but don't
remember it ....

Erich, is there a way to reinitialize Webconf to ask for a new
username/password, from the command lines ?

Ok have a good day
