Category lock password loss

[milerfreitas]

At some point in my life I created a password for a category and I just can't remember it.

What I already di:
I tried all the passwords I use;
I cleared the MD data;
I cleared the cache;
I reinstalled from scratch;
I changed devices.

None of that worked!

Is there any way to reset this password and I set another one?

@Endercraft may be able to unlock the password lock.

Yes. It's accessible from the JSON file as it's not encrypted.

Yes. It's accessible from the JSON file as it's not encrypted.

From which json? It's not about unlocking a category, it's about blocking. When I try to block it, it asks for a password, but I don't know what the password is.

You need to unblock the category first. You can even change it directly in the file because I'm not sure it's encrypted, maybe it is.

What I did now to test: Full backup of my macros, a friend sent me a blocked category, I imported the blocked category, I used the password he gave me to unlock, after that I blocked it again and I could choose another password. I restored my backup, tried to lock a category and the password I had set no longer worked.
