Help please... Mac OS High Sierra ver 10.13.2, Mono 4.6.1, Jackett_Install_Macos
My Problem: I either need an admin password to override a corrupt/lost password or a clean uninstall method to remove an incorrectly logged password as I'm unable to access UI/Dashboard. Thanks.

stop jackett, edit the ~/.config/Jackett/ServerConfig.json file and change the AdminPassword line to this:
"AdminPassword": null,
Start jackett again and there should be no password.

Thanks Kaso17, forgive me but... How do I stop Jackett, it autoruns at start up and... Where might I find said file, also what program might I use to edit it... I am no more than an enthusiastic end user who auto installed and have no programming/terminal knowledge?

No idea about mac os.
Try doing a rm -f ~/.config/Jackett/ to reset the jackett config.

I don't have a macos either, but a quick google came up with some basic instructions for you to try out:
- open a terminal (see https://superuser.com/questions/178735/how-do-you-get-a-shell-on-a-mac#178736 as an example)
- paste the following at the command prompt to set yourself up with admin authority
sudo -i
and supply the admin password when prompted. ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31700746/how-to-run-terminal-as-administrator-on-mac-pro) - paste the following at the prompt
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.user.Jackett.plist
to shutdown the jackett service (https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#install-as-service) - edit the jackett config by pasting the following at the prompt:
open -e ~/.config/Jackett/ServerConfig.json
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9421717/how-do-i-invoke-a-text-editor-from-the-terminal#21705438) - scroll down till you find the
AdminPasswordline and replace it with"AdminPassword": null, - save your changes.
- start the jackett service
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.user.Jackett.plist
(https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#install-as-service)
Good luck.
