Node-red crash after mistake in modbus server

General

Hi, yesterday in a test with modbus server, I lost connection with node-red server.
Now I'm not able to make any change because node-red crash after a start.
How can I solve it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Stop, start in safe mode (node-red --safe), fix issue, restart

Having fixed it as suggested, which modbus node and which version are you using? node-red-contrib-something probably. The crash should be reported as an issue as no mis-configuration should cause node-red to crash.

Hi Colin,

I'm using this version:
node-red-contrib-modbus
5.14.0

I'm going to update to 5.14.1

Thanks!
