My first post, and SB Touch owner for only a few weeks, so offering a tidbit others may find useful.
I had some problems with my MySqueezeBox account - my thanks to Christian and Michal at Logitech for helping sort them out - and in the course of that I had to re-enter my MSB details into the Touch repeatedly. Curiously, and as others here have already noted, there is no easy way to get to a screen which will allow you to do that from the GUI. Logitech support sensibly tell you to reset the Touch to factory default, but this gets long-winded as you have to re-enter all details, which in my case included a complex WPA network access key. As the Touch is simply a small computer running Linux, I took a look inside. Although I have not so far been able to determine where the MSB password is stored, I did find out how to re-open the MSB registration screen. This is determined by a setting in the configuration file /etc/squeezeplay/userpath/settings/SetupWelcome.lua, which (at release 7.5.3 r9283) contains the text: settings = (setupDone-true,registerDone=true,) Setting "registerDone" to "false" causes the Touch to open the registration screen on next boot. Details of procedure: Use ssh to login to your Touch as root (if you are not clear about what this instruction means, this shortcut is not for you - do not proceed further!) and issue the following commands: # cd /etc/squeezeplay/userpath/settings # more SetupWelcome.lua Check that the text that appears is settings = (setupDone-true,registerDone=true,)# (There is no linefeed at the end of the file so the # prompt from the shell appears after the text). If so, continue: # cp SetupWelcome.lua SetupWelcome.lua.orig # sed s/registerDone=true/registerDone=false/ <SetupWelcome.lua.orig >SetupWelcome.lua # reboot The Touch will restart and go straight to the MSB registration page. This happens once - the system resets registerDone to true once the registration is completed Unless you make further modifications, you will have to change the SetupWelcome.lua file each time you want to re-register your Touch. If you are familiar with vi, you can use that to modify the file instead of sed. I hope others find this note useful.
