It's stored in the flows_cred.json file which isn't really editable by hand.

If you don't have anything else stored in the cred file you could just remove it and NR should boot again.

If you don't know what it all saved in the cred file. You can search flows.json for "type":"server" record the value of id in the same level. It will be in the format of 2dad33ee.42bf5c. Then remove the whole server block.

example of the server block

{"id":"2dad33ee.42bf5c","type":"server","z":"","name":"Home Assistant","legacy":false,"hassio":false,"rejectUnauthorizedCerts":true,"ha_boolean":"y|yes|true|on|home|open","connectionDelay":true,"cacheJson":true},

• Restart NR
• create a new server config
• shutdown NR
• edit flows.json replace the server block id with the old one that you recorded
• restart NR

thanks @zachowj . I was able to re-import the flow and change the server.
