Thanks for flagging that it's recurring, TheL — that's genuinely useful, and it's been passed along so we can dig into why the password keeps needing a reset instead of just handing out the same fix each time. Reset-password is the right move for now. If you remember anything about when it happens (right after an update, after a restart, anything like that), that detail would help track it down faster.

Losing that GUI login is annoying, but nothing's actually broken. Editing the config file by hand is what left you stuck (deleting that line doesn't reset it to the default, it just removes the check). There's a built-in command that does this cleanly: over SSH, run sudo sparkbox reset-password qbit — it stops qBittorrent, writes a fresh password straight into its own config, then starts it back up, so there's no drift between what's saved and what qBit actually has. The new password gets written to /opt/sparkbox/state/qbittorrent-admin-password.txt (username stays admin). If Radarr/Sonarr are hooked into qBit, update the password there too once you're back in.

Heads up — 1.6.545 just shipped and should cover what you reported here. You can grab it straight from the dashboard: Settings → Updates → Update SparkBox. Let me know if that sorts it, or if you're still hitting it. (Prefer the terminal? sudo sparkbox upgrade — note update only refreshes app images and will not move you to a new release.)
