    Hi everyone,

    I forgot the Administrator credentials for my local Soft PLC (CODESYS Control Win V3x64) running on CODESYS V3.5 SP22 Patch 2 (Windows 11).

    When I try to login/connect to the device, it asks for the Device User Management username and password.

    I checked the CODESYSControl.cfg file, which points the working directory to:
    Windows.WorkingDirectory=%APPDATA%\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\905D4E32

    However, I cannot locate the actual database/credentials files in AppData or ProgramData to clear them, and resetting the runtime directory doesn't seem to clear the authentication prompt.

    Could anyone please advise the correct steps to completely reset or wipe the User Management credentials for the Control Win V3.5 SP22 runtime?

    Thank you in advance!

    since 3.5.20.10 version you should find it here:
    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\xxxxxxxx (64Bit)
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\CODESYS\xxxxxxxx (32Bit)
