I just installed 2.1beta1 on gentoo via emerge. When I go to the web interface configuration I cannot seem to change the password. I can get a basic login screen up on the broswer at localhost:8080, but I cannot login as I don't know what the default password is, and cannot seem to edit the password is in the Preferences gui in ktorrent itself.

Just click on the password field in preferences and press space or any other key.

Yes, it behaves strangely.

yes, weird isn't it. Where do I file a bug report, or is it already on the list?

I think the devs are aware of it.

We allready changed it to use a dialog to enter the password.

I have actually no idea what the default password is, but you should change it anyway, so it doesn't matter.
