That file is an SQL script for Pathfinder's internal HSQLDB user database. It injects a local user so you can bypass the online dealer login.
What the script does:
It removes the old default user jlr2017 and inserts a new user zhang with a pre-hashed password into the local users database.
How to apply it:
Important: This only solves the user login screen. It does not fix the patch expiry issue (31-03-2023) shown in your title bar. If Pathfinder still blocks you due to the expired GDSVRPF_ENHANCEMENT, you'll still need either the date rollback working or a newer enhancement patch.
Try it and report back — tell us what happens at the login screen and whether you get past it.
What the script does:
SQL:
/*C5*/SET SCHEMA PUBLIC
DELETE FROM USERS WHERE NAME='jlr2017'
COMMIT
INSERT INTO USERS VALUES('zhang','fruOs09bkBqi7BZlDlGJJw==','e348aa4ac37710015d3dafdb537c627b0d5cdd2616dfe...')
COMMIT
DISCONNECTHow to apply it:
- Close Pathfinder completely — kill any JLR/Pathfinder processes in Task Manager.
- Find the Pathfinder database folder. Typical locations:
orCode:C:\JLR\IDS\Runtime\db\
Look for a file called users.db.log or users.db.script — these are the HSQLDB files.Code:C:\ProgramData\JLR\pathfinder\db\ - Extract users.db.log from the RAR and replace the existing one in that db folder. Back up the original first.
- Launch Pathfinder → click "Other user" → try logging in with:
- Username: zhang
- Password: check if there's a readme or second file in the RAR that specifies it. Common passwords used with this patch: zhang, 123456, or password

The file users.db.log from the RAR needs to be placed into Pathfinder's internal HSQLDB database folder. You need to search for it on your system.
Common locations to check manually:
Important: The ProgramData folder is hidden by default. In Explorer → View tab → check "Hidden items" to make it visible.
Once you find the existing users.db.log, back it up first, then replace it with the one from the RAR. Post the full path where you found it so we can confirm it's correct before you launch Pathfinder.
- Close Pathfinder completely (check Task Manager → kill any java.exe or Pathfinder processes)
- Open Windows Explorer and search the entire C:\ drive for: users.db.log
- If that returns nothing, search for: users.db.script
- If still nothing, try: *.db.log and filter results to anything inside a JLR or Pathfinder folder
Common locations to check manually:
- C:\JLR\IDS\Runtime\db\
- C:\ProgramData\JLR\pathfinder\db\
- C:\Program Files (x86)\JLR\pathfinder\db\
- C:\JLR\pathfinder\ and subfolders

Try a broader search. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
If all of those return nothing, your Pathfinder install may use a different database structure or the db folder was never created (incomplete install).
Next, find where Pathfinder actually lives:
Post the full output of all commands — from there we can locate the correct folder or find an alternative way to apply the patch.
Also — how did you install Pathfinder originally? From the Yandex links in this thread, a USB image, or a pre-installed VM/cloned HDD? If it's running inside a virtual machine or cloned image, the folder structure may be completely non-standard.
Code:
dir /s /b C:\*.db.log
dir /s /b C:\*.db.script
dir /s /b C:\*hsqldb*
dir /s /b C:\*users.db*If all of those return nothing, your Pathfinder install may use a different database structure or the db folder was never created (incomplete install).
Next, find where Pathfinder actually lives:

dir /s /b C:\*ngs*.jar

OK, so you got the "JLR PAF OFFL.+ Updat YAN..." package from vlas67's post #4 in this thread.
That package is likely a pre-configured offline Pathfinder image — not a standard installer. That's why you can't find any users.db.log or standard db folder — the database structure may be embedded differently or the HSQLDB was never initialized separately.
Let's figure out your actual folder structure. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands one by one, then post the full output of each:
If those return too many lines, try these more targeted ones:
Also — the раtсh.rar file you found earlier with the SQL script — was that included inside the same Yandex package, or did you find it somewhere else? If it came from a different source, it may not be compatible with this particular Pathfinder build.
Post the command outputs and we'll locate the right place to apply the user patch — or find an alternative approach if the DB structure is different.

Hi abdo2u
Found on another forum (not my work), try this
- INSTAL JLR PATHFINDER
- DISABLE INTERNET
- COPY com.avl.ditest.ngs.userprovider TO
- C:\Program Files (x86)\AVL_DiTEST\Pathfinder\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\
- C:\Program Files (x86)\AVL_DiTEST\Pathfinder\plugins\
- WITH INTERNET OFF OPEN PATHFINDER AND LOGIN WITH
- USERNAME = zhang
- PASSWORD = JLRHUAPC
- AFTER 3 DAYS DELETE (DO NOT REPLACE IT WANT WORK) com.avl.ditest.ngs.userprovider AND DO PATCH AGAIN

Hello, even changing the date doesn't work.
Do you know of any other patches that are currently working?

Hello,
If rolling back the date does not work for you, it is probably because the version you are using does not merely check the system date — some Pathfinder builds also check through a user login component, not just the patch expiration.
The most recent lead posted in this same thread (post #10305 by joelmurray) is the one that looks most like a currently working solution:
- Install Pathfinder
- Disable Internet
- Copy the file
com.avl.ditest.ngs.userproviderto:C:\Program Files (x86)\AVL_DiTEST\Pathfinder\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\C:\Program Files (x86)\AVL_DiTEST\Pathfinder\plugins\
- Open Pathfinder offline and log in with:
- Username:
zhang - Password:
JLRHUAPC
- Username:
I have not tested this method myself — joelmurray found it on another forum — so consider it a lead to try, not a confirmation.
To help you more precisely, can you specify:
- The exact Pathfinder version shown in your title bar (build/Abenberg, release number, GDSVRPF_ENHANCEMENT version, and expiration date)
- The source of the package (Yandex from this thread, or another)
- The exact screen where you get stuck: user login, or patch expiration message?
Depending on the build, the method differs (HSQLDB database patch vs userprovider vs newer enhancement), so the exact version really points toward the right solution.

The file
com.avl.ditest.ngs.userprovider isn't a file that you generate yourself — it should come with the shared patch. In this thread, joelmurray (post #10305) provided the method, but apparently didn't attach the file itself, only the instructions found on another forum.So there are two things to check:
- The shared RAR patch (Jlr PathFinder раtсh.rar) — check whether it contains a file named
com.avl.ditest.ngs.userprovideronce extracted. According to the metadata here, it's only ~2.9 KB, so it probably contains only the SQL script, not this userprovider file. - The original Yandex package from this thread — look in the
plugins\folders of the Pathfinder installation to see whether a file with this name already exists.
I can't confirm the exact contents of these archives because I haven't opened them here. The simplest thing is to ask joelmurray directly (quote post #10305) whether they can attach the file
com.avl.ditest.ngs.userprovider, since they are the one who has the complete method.So I can point you in the right direction, tell me:
- The exact version displayed in your Pathfinder title bar (build/Abenberg, release, GDSVRPF_ENHANCEMENT version + expiration date)
- The exact screen where you're stuck: user login or patch expiration message?

Do you know the WinRAR code? It is impossible to extract.

The usual password for archives in the forum's Resources section is binunlock.com.
Try it on Jlr PathFinder раtсh.rar. If extraction still fails, then either the archive uses a different password set by the person who posted it, or the file was corrupted during download.
Two things to check:
- Re-download the archive once — a partially downloaded RAR often gives an extraction error that looks like a wrong password.
- If the password above does not work, directly quote the person who posted the RAR (or joelmurray, post #10305) and ask them for the exact password, as it does not appear anywhere in this thread.
Tell me the exact error message displayed by WinRAR (wrong password, CRC failed, corrupted archive…), as that makes it possible to tell whether it is a password issue or a damaged file.
