Title: Uninstalling and Reinstalling Problem
Post by: Dan on March 26, 2006, 05:38:37 PM

I accidentally moved the default setttings into a group I made, and now I cannot use the auto-populate function or CoolKey. When I uninstalled the extension and then reinstalled, all the settings and accounts remained the same. Is there a way I can delete all the settings, and then reinstall the default ones? Thanks.

Hello Dan,

Close firefox and delete the passwordmaker settings file. When you restart firefox, you'll have brand new settings. From the FAQ (http://passwordmaker.org/faq.html):

Where is account information and other settings stored?
Everything is stored in ProfileDirectory/passwordmaker.rdf. If you don't know where your profile directory is, look here (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder).

Let me know if that  helps,
Eric
p.s. it is a known bug that moving the default settings into group is a bad thing.

Thanks for your help; it worked perfectly. I thought that I would never be able to access my password-protected sites anymore.
