[SOLVED]MPD issues

I've currently installed mpd and configured it so all the files are stored in the .mpd directory in my home folder. Like this:

"~/.mpd/playlists"
"~/.mpd/db"
"~/.mpd/mpd.log"
"~/.mpd/mpd.error"
"~/.mpd/mpd.pid"
"~/.mpd/mpdstate"

The problem i'm having is updating the mpd database, everytime i try to update it, it asks for a password. I've tried using my root password and my normal password but neither work. Any ideas why is asks for a password or what i can do to bypass this?

my mpd.conf:

Re: [SOLVED]MPD issues

I think line 146

password                        "wtfidm@read,add,control,admin"

is the answer to your problem. Either change wtfidm to a desirable password or comment out the line. I, also, suppose that you are running mpd as a regular user (moogler?)

Ah yea that seemed to do the trick, thanks.
