Here's a quote about account passwords from https://ring.cx/en/tutorials/gnu-linux#Account: ---- If your forget it, you won't be able to change it or get another one. Your account password is important. It is used to add other devices to your account and encrypt the archive that contains the private keys linked to your Ring account. ---- As I understand the implementation (I haven't studied Ring and the account system in detail), no one will be able to reregister/overwrite an existing account as the information is stored on the Etherum blockchain which have no central controlling authority (by design). See some more details at; https://blog.savoirfairelinux.com/en-ca/2016/blockchain-decentralization-ring/ The current code in ring-daemon seems to just fail when trying to register an existing account, refer to the code around; https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/ring-daemon/blob/master/src/ringdht/namedirectory.cpp#L304 I think your options are to dig you memory, brute force the existing password, or create a new account.
