Samba username messed up

[leon]

I recently move to 384.19 without backup my jffs... and I loss access to the folders on my USB via a Windows machine. log file shows smbpasswd database corrupt.

I thought it would be a simple process to delete the username and recreate but to my horror, I am not able to delete the name... let me explain.

Via the WebGUI, I normally see the list of name that I can control access to the USB folders. The first name is the same as my admin account, which is fixed. But now, the first name is the corrupted name. The admin account is the second name. . Hence cannot delete the first name and re-create...

What should I do? Pls help. Thanks!

Common problem. The solution is here:

USB Application Accounts messed up RT-AC86U

I have a USB disk that I use for backups. I noticed that the account I was using no longer works for accessing the Samba (SMB) share. I can create another test account and it works fine. This isn't an SMB 1.0/Windows issue. Firmware 3.0.0.4.384.81992 RT-AC86U The way it was originally...
