Dear all, I had a working installation of Kolibri this morning on Ubuntu 16.04 with users and classes already created, all i had left to do was to start importing content. My laptop ran out of charge but when I finally restarted it, going to http:localhost:8080 was a dead end (i guessed the web sever had stopped working;going to the ubuntu terminal and typing `kolibri status` confirmed this). On the terminal I typed `kolibri start` and on going to http:localhost:8080 instead of giving me a login screen it gave me a 3 step set up screen (asking for institution name, new user name, new user pass). This confused me as all i wanted was to get into my original account and continue where I had left off but when I finished the steps, I was in a brand new account and all my previous work was undone. What could have happened? How can I prevent it happening in the future, undoing hours of good work? Where may I have gone wrong? Thanks ---

Hi @eliteschools! What probably happened is when your laptop restarted after running out of charge, you logged in to the system/Ubuntu as a different user from the one you used to install and setup Kolibri. Could it be that you installed as admin, and now are logged in as another user or viceversa? ---

Hello @radina-matic thanks for the response. I see what you are saying but in this case its not the case, its a fresh install of ubuntu, I only have the one user registered, the admin. ---

@eliteschools Did you install Kolibri as a system service? It would have been offered as an option during the installation process… Could you take a screenshot of the Device \> Info tab when you log into Kolibri now? ![Selection_104](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/learneq/original/1X/95430f3f5a79ff5f00efb60d228818f596707382.png) ---
