'"No accounts setup"

[FFF]

Hi Folks,
just of a sudden, PM 48 greets my "CTRL-M" to fetch mail with '"No accounts setup", and indeed, using F3 i see an empty tab!
Reason probably, that my son managed to lock up the machine on his account, so a hard reset was needed...

Any kind soul willing to show me how to get my accounts (some 20 <sigh>) back?

Edit: just had a look, accounts.ini has some 19kb - all of them 0x00, equally Filters.ini is back to square one.
The latter i may fetch from a backup, but my accounts were freshly managed, as i had migrated my domain to another provider.

Any chance to find something in the registry?

TIA

FTR, i'm back and running, learned the hard way backups shouldn't be old
What i don't quite understand is, how and why Poco, when it got "killed" by Windows (via Reset), replaced all entries in Accounts.ini, Filters.ini with hex 0. AND, why it does the same with the ".~ini" variations of these files, which, AFAIK, should drop in as backup...

Filling with hex codes is some higher system magic. But Pocomail might lose the accounts data on crash - I have seen that reported occasionally (but not frequently, not sure what factors must be in place for that to happen).
