Hi! i am new for Superset and the version i use is 0.17.1, it was working fine after installation, i have created a few users, dashboards and then all of sudden i cant login with my credentials which i created while installation and also with the user credentails created within superset. i have checked the logs which returned nothing.

Actual results

You possibly are not using the database you added your users too. Please double check that.

this issue is that i cant even login through the credentials i gave while installation, it worked earlier and all of a sudden stopped working.

The database by the default is in the user's home. Are you using a custom settings file? One easy mistake is to use it during the installation from the cli and not when running the runserver as a service. Or using a different user than the one you installed or so.

I was running superset via a process manager that is starting as root but changing the user into superset user - all I had to do is to create a symlink for that

lrwxrwxrwx 1 superset superset 24 Jul 30 12:54 .superset -> /home/superset/.superset

Highly recommend using MySQL or Postgres in production or for any decent test drive.
