After a PC reset, I lost my web app credentials!

[watsicagaylord]

I recently reset my computer and, in my haste, forgot to save my web application's login information. I sincerely hope that there is still hope and that I won't have to start over and lose all of my meticulously configured Timer Rules and Recordings. Is there a way to get my login information back, or am I just out of luck?

I am not sure what this has to do with Kodi but recordings and timers are stored in a data base so unless you removed the database they will be available and continue. To get your credentials back will depend on what os you run. One simple solution to reset the credentials to default would be to find config.xml and rename it and reboot you server. Some settings might get reset and need to be edited.

Optionally you can edit config.xml and reset just usernames and passwords. If you entering the default values for admin/password and PIN 0000 would be

<Username>admin</Username>
<Password>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</Password>
<PinMD5>4A7D1ED414474E4033AC29CCB8653D9B</PinMD5>
