user72128: I'm trying to run bitcoind with a changed conf file, but for some reason the password it thinks is incorrect. Is there a way I can change the rpc username and password?

user85218: 
bitcoin-cli stop
Then edit your bitcoin.conf with nano bitcoin.conf
Then edit or add the entry rpcpassword=yourpassword and rpcusername=yourusername
Save it
Restart bitcoind
