Hello everyone,

i'm currently working on a robotic project using node-red and ros,  
it was perfectly working until yesterday, now i cant even connect to the localhost page even tho the log tells me the nodes are working. (maybe the snappy-ros node is the problem?)  
i've already tried to change the port, uninstall node-red but it didnt work out,  
does anybody has suggestion?

Thanks

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.

did you make any changes to the `settings.js` file?

have you tried to start NR from a cli using `node-red --safe` and disabling that node
