Can't locate password for my obsidian vault in the android phone

First, I have tried mailing obsidian support multiple times already. Exhausted I have come to the community to request your assistance.

My obsidian sync is activated. I am stuck with no files on my android. I want to use the files from my laptop too. But for that I need the password. And as the help is not working, I am left with no option but to come to you as Themistocles with open arms with request for aid and assistance.

So please assist me. What may I do in this circumstance?

Things I have tried

You need the password only for the data stored on the Sync server. The local data on your devices is not encrypted.

AFAIK If you’ve lost the password, there 's no way to access the data on the server. (I consider this a valuable security feature of Obsidian Sync.)

So:

  • backup the vault on your laptop
  • create a new synched vault with a new password
  • move/copy files from the old vault to the new synched vault

If you didn’t receive a response in your inbox, did you check your Junk folder?

This maybe closed. It’s resolved.
