    I set username and password on my web browser but forgot my password.
    Unfortunately, ssh doesn't work for me because I lost my password either.
    So I tried to delete /home/tinypilot/tinypilot.db following instructions but I can't find the folder.
    I basically use microsd reader from both windows and mac to read the micro sd card. the only folder I can see is something called overlays

      Hi @tomjackone, I'm sorry you're running into this issue trying to delete your database file.

      The microSD card has two partitions - one called bootfs and another called rootfs. The database file (/home/tinypilot/tinypilot.db) is located in the rootfs partition. Unfortunately, I think this partition isn't showing up because Windows and Mac don't natively support the Linux filesystem format.

      The simplest solution here is to reset your TinyPilot password using Option 3 from our FAQ to factory reset your TinyPilot. However, that resets everything on your device.

      I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
