Hi,
I have EasyIoT running on a RaspPi2 without issues, until yesterday that is.
I've recently changed password on the admin account and had shortly thereafter an improper shutdown of the RaspPi2.
Now both the admin and normal user account in EasyIoT says I'm using wrong usr/pwd combination
I suspect of course the previous mentioned improper shutdown might have something to do with it
Which file is storing the user accounts and can I just delete it and rerun easyiot.exe to return to default configuration with only admin/test account (and thus keep my node config and automation programs)?
Or do I have to delete the easyiot folder completely and do reinstall+reconfig?
While I wait for a response i will go look for a donate button on the site, because Igor really deserves some spare change to spend on a brewski
Cheers!

Improper shutdown my result in configuration lost. All configuration data are stored in config folder. It is recommended to backup this folder sometimes. Users are stored in systemconfig.xml. Try to repair this file in editor or replace with installation file. File is in XML form and easy to understand. Shut down server before change/replace file.

Ahhh yes i see it - one edit later and it all works a treat again 
I'm going to take your advice and set up a cron job to make daily backups of the ./config folder.
Many thanks.

Good idea - cron job with backup.
