Locked out of syncthing for synology, no username or password in xml

[synsync2024]

I am currently locked out of my syncthing webui panel and I know I set my username and password correctly but it is not working. I was able to find my config.xml file in the /var/packages/syncthing/var folder but nowhere in it is a username or password field to remove so I am currently stuck without being able to login.

Am I missing something more to this or is there a different file that would contain the username and password fields to remove? I would really appreciate any guidance on this, thank you!

This is what my congif.xml shows:

The config.xml as posted is incomplete and is missing most of its content. The fields you’re looking for are named <user> and <password> located as subattributes in <gui>.

Also see the FAQ for visuals and alternative methods to remove the password:
