Password change function (karaf console) does not work

[Harpo3]

Applies to openhabian-config, 30 System Settings, 34 Change Passwords, openHAB Console.

The Change Password function does not correctly change the console password.

Until it is fixed, a workaround is to use this instruction to reset the password from the command line:
sudo sed -i -e "s/openhab = .*,/openhab = securePassword,/g" /var/lib/openhab2/etc/users.properties
Substitute securePassword with your desired password.
Then, stop openhab and reboot.

Do you mean to change the password to Karaf console ?
That can't be done from openhabian-config. Option 34 is about the openhab UNIX user and UNIX console in fact.
I admit it's an unfortunate wording, but it's something else and works as intended.

PS: no need to reboot in your "workaround"
