Hello All,

I have installed anew module named "node-red-contrib-uibuilder" and after that I started getting error like:

```auto
Credentials could not be decrypted The flow credential file is encrypted,
but the project's encryption key is missing or invalid.
The flow credential file will be reset on the next deployment.
Any existing flow credentials will be cleared.

```

I have tried following instructions mentioned in link [https://stackoverflow.com/a/50565089/5866580](https://stackoverflow.com/a/50565089/5866580) but it didn't work. As of NONE of my projects(including telegram) is working. Could you please do guide here, will be grateful to you.

**EDIT:** Also just want to add here that while doing changes and then deployment I am getting an error like "bot not initialized" On telegram receiver and sender nodes.

Hello All,

I have fixed it 🙂 somehow entry in Token column of telegram receiver and sender got missing, I have entered my token again now and it started working fine. Spent lot of hours though, may be it can help to future users.

Though not sure how that entry got missing automatically.

Thanks,
