Forgotten Password

[Kath_Brentford]

I am trying to connect CC to Calibre using Connect as Wireless Device. I have done it before but not for several months so I've forgotten what I did last time. I may in fact have connected via USB; I don't know if I can tell.

CC is asking me for a password for the calibre library - it's got the name of the library correct so they are talking to each other. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what the password is.

I can't see where to change it (or delete it), which I assume is on calibre. I'm also guessing that it does actually mean a library specific password rather than a wifi password or any other type but I may be wrong. They are both using the same wifi network. I have put in the calibre IP address which has made no difference.

I'm using CC v3.5.9 on a Nexus 10 and calibre v 2.15 (64 bit) on Win 7 (64 bit).

An excellent application you may want to consider is LastPass. It's a free, highly secure (encrypted and salted) password vault you can install on your PC. I use it and love it (the free version is all most of us would need...) Much safer than storing them in your browser, etc. All you have to remember is your master PW to get into your vault. (I am not associated with them... I am just highly motivated about security...)
