Trying to work with LDAP, I lost ability to open Ignition from my EPIC system (See previous post: “[LDAP log into ignition, lost privileges](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ldap-log-into-ignition-lost-privileges/114475/2)”). I decided to reinstall the EPIC system firmware as first step to restore. However, after the restore Ignition does not start. What should I do?

I didn’t wait long enough!  
Finally was able to start Ignition.

All good now.
