Trouble logging into CouchDB after restarting

[JeffreyQin]

I recently installed CouchDB on my computer and I have been experiencing issues logging in. As a MacOS user, I found the ini file located at

Library/Preferences/couchdb_local.ini

where I modified the admin section so it looks like

[admins]
username = randomusername
password = randompassword

After restarting my computer and entering the file again, I can see that both the username and password became hashed, looking something like

[admins]
username = -pbkdf2-dadsiada3f2w34f,jjfioji3jf3,10
password = -pbkdf2-f4i32f0j230jf03,3fijf203jf0,10

However, I'm still having issues logging into the Fauxton portal at localhost:5984/_utils both using the hashed and unhashed credentials.

Is there anything I have done wrong? Thanks.

Yes, you have done something wrong, the entries are username = password

so

[admins]
foo = bar

you can then login as user foo with password bar.
