Do not uninstall NiyaJar or clear its storage. If device unlock works, open your budget and save an encrypted backup. Otherwise, use your saved recovery key on the lock screen, if recovery was enabled, or restore a backup using its password. A recovery key cannot replace lost data. Without encrypted data and a working password or recovery key, recovery is not possible.
