I’m running local server-0.17.0.jar on a windows 10 machine and when I try and logon as usual I get an error saying incorrect email and/or password. If I try to reset password it says it cannot find my email address. I have the latest iOS Blynk app installed. I have not tinkered with Blynk for quite a while and just got back into it with updated server jar and iOS app.
I have been using Blynk from the beginning, It use to work fine using a local server and iOS app. Now I have done all the updates it won’t recognise my logon credentials. I know I can probably re-register but then I will loose my project.
Yes I have all the latest versions - downloaded and ran server-0.17.2.jar today. I used the batch file you provided to run the .jar and it confirms that the script is running.
My server directory id C:/Blynk/Server and the .jar file is in that directory. This setup was working fine in the past. I obtained the server local ip 192.168.1.64 using ipconfig and used that with port 8443 in the iOS app setup.
Here is my latest blynk.log:

Also if I try to reset password from iOS app it says my email does not exist in your database. I am not receiving notifications when you respond to this forum either.
Yes, I realise they are different accounts. I was just pointing out another problem.
How could the app account have changed just by updating software. Please read back over the information I have given you so far and try and give me a constructive response.
As I noted above… I tried resetting my password but it said it did not have my email address in it’s database. How could it lose my email address just by updating??? Where is the database held? Is it in local server? Where is the password held?
@modicon1 what is happening when some people update their local servers is that they are mixing up their dataFolders, me included.
In simple terms, before the server update they were starting the server (Windows format) with:
java -jar server-0.17.0.jar -dataFolder C:\path\A
and after the server update next they are inadvertently starting the server (Windows format) with:
java -jar server-0.17.2.jar -dataFolder C:\path\B
Most Blynkers are not intentionally changing from A to B, but some might if they want a fresh start.
So it is probable you have moved from A to B and you have to find A on your system to restore your login details and projects.
Unless you have deleted them they should still be on your system.
If you are sure of the email address you used initially try searching your whole system for u_[email_address].user to locate directory “A” (replace [email_address] with your email address).
When you run java with directory “B” the server will start just fine, but it now has a new, empty, dataset.
I think you are on to something. After the update I used for the first time Dmitriy’s batch files as follows:
@echo off echo Starting Blynk Server… echo Your working directory is=%~dp0 cd /D %~dp0 java -jar server-0.17.2.jar -dataFolder /path IF /I “%ERRORLEVEL%” NEQ “0” ( ** ECHO Server failed to started** ) echo Server started successfully…
This would have placed the data folder in the same path as the server .jar.
When I had previously started the Server I just double clicked the .jar file and I’m not sure where this would have placed the Datafolder.
Any ideas on where the datafolder might have gone when I just double clicked the .jar file?
@modicon1 it depends where the jar file was on your system before the upgrade. If you know where it was (is) then the dataset will probably be in a subdirectory of this location and called Blynk with inner directories.
I would try to search your system as advised in my last post.
Did you search for u_[emailaddress].user or just [emailaddress].user as it needs to be the former unless you are doing a wildcard search?
You call also search for “Blynk” but if it is like my sytem you could have a lot of Blynk directories and I don’t think Blynk would necessarily be created by double clicking the jar file.
“data” directory should be created though so you could try a search for that.
