My printer can be http'd to but it says it can't connect to Moonraker.
So I tried putty'ing in and of course I can't remember my logon.
I read I can copy my config files over to a new install or something? Is there a guide for this?

That's a bad combo, moonraker being down, AND loosing your password

#

Most guides for getting your configs are going to want you to have one or the other of those things

#

The path that does still work, is directly reading the pi's sdcard somewhere else. The challenge there is that most pcs can't directly do that. You need either a utility for your pc/Mac that can read Linux ext4 filesystems, or another Linux system

Make sure it's the "printer_data/config" directory you grab. Klipper/config is just the sample configs

And then... do i just run through the pi/mainsail/klipper install?

But yes. Get the contents of that directory backed up (I probably wouldn't involve ext2read, I'd just use a regular thumb drive, but whatever works

#

Then you'll just reimage the sdcard, and start over the install. Just when you get to the flashing firmware and stuff, you'll skip all that, and just copy in the old configs instead
