Hi, I have created a master profile for all settings etc, and now I have of course forgotten what it is (or rather I think I remember, but KODI tells me I am wrong).
Is there some way to reset this? I have only tried twice, the exited, so I don't lock it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Only as far as I understand kodi....
Each of the profiles you created should have an own 'userdata'-folder with an own 'guisettings.xml'. This xml file contains all the info which is set for the specific profile. You are able to access this folder without any problems or passwords (using the command line or a file browser). Copy the xml-file to a save place, delete the profile folder, restart kodi, create a new profile, put the xml file there (overwrite the existing guisettings.xml) and restart/reboot kodi. All settings, which you did, should be there again.
I think there is no way to reset the password if you forgot it. But maybe anyone else knows a better solution.

Look in the guisettings.xml file for the password or some other xml file

What I mean is, that line can just be deleted and Kodi won't ask for the code anymore. So that it says
Code:
<lockcode></lockcode>
