bartolobvot

I crated a new user and all was good. until the next day when I could not remember my password, and i am the only user created also the file   storagedirectory/database/user.sql  either does not exist or cannot be found. I cant find any info on this issue . I don't know what to do?

You need to delete it. Read the docs what storage directory means for your computer. Position differs between operating systems. First stop server in os, delete file and start again.

I have read the docs. I found all of this info in the so-called docs. this here

If you have forgotten a user password, you can reset it if you have another user with configuration rights. As the last radical solution follow these steps:

1. Stop Repetier-Server (see installation)
2. Delete the file storagedirectory/database/user.sql
3. Start Repetier-Server

      Although  it is quite lengthy i tried everything here for about 8 hrs  strait  and i tried every conceivable password
I can think of with no luck  I am out of ideas!
also did searches for this(database/user.sql)
this(user.sql)
And there is nothing on my computer with these names

I did a normal default install with default directories
and i tried reinstalling the software several times

WOuld you have told the os I could tell you the place. Docs for windows installation e.g. say

Data Storage

By default the server stores all data in a global directory, which is normally located at C:\ProgramData\Repetier-Server\. This directory gets never deleted by updating or uninstalling the server to prevent data loss. If you want to backup your current state, just backup this directory.

Linux is /var/lib/RepetierServer
