Recover only specific parts of backup #20

Open streamnsight opened 2 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to recover my admin password, but my version seems too recent, and it doesn't work, so I was thinking of a different approach:

Is it possible to unpack the backup, remove the user.dat or user.idx (or both?!) and repack and use the re-packed file as the backup to restore? Would that work? Or would that just create a mess? I am really not familiar with the files and how they work, but curious to hear if that is an option.

Other thing I am thinking of: is there a way to generate the TEXT based config from the backup file, and reproduce the config that way after restoring a default config?

Thanks for help.
