#Can't connect to moonraker, can't remember my pi password anymore. Best course of action?

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
So i shoved Ubuntu on a thumb drive and I can read the sd card. Should i tar the klipper conflg dir and back that up on my windows PC via ext2read?
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?
Ha thx
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
OK thanks so much
Oh, I've also seen people get burned by copying in the moonraker config
