[Solved]Where is stored password for PublicFox?

Hello there,
Everything in title. I thought it was in prefs.js, but doesn't look like. Any idea?
The thing is, my kiosk is now really modified and recreating a new image each time is really a pain in the a**.

Thanks,
Steven

As well as for browser home page, is there any other place to set it then in prefs.js? It is still taking me to porteus.org!!

Might I suggest keeping all your modifications backed up (or as a separate module if possible) so upgrading will be easier? A new release came out yesterday.

The settings you want to access were stored in an encrypted file when you ran the wizard. It is possible to decrypt the file and access the contents but it is probably better for all users not to disclose the method publicly.

EDIT: I've PM'd you.

password for PublicFox (and some other important settings like homepage) gets encrypted only if you use kiosk wizard. maybe would be better for you to work with plain ISO so you could change PublicFox password/homepege and other settings directly in prefs.js?

Ok thank you guys, I managed to get it working somehow.

Last thing, extensions.dlwatch.pass is the key for PublicFox password? It is md5 encoded right? Can't get it to work though.

Managed to do this by setting password through wizard and decrypting the conf file.
