I have downloaded the latest version of Parity. Installed it. It started by default and asked to create an account i. I created the same and got some ethers from the parity faucet site by requesting manually. althoughAlthough etherscan site showed that iI have 5 ethers but in my parity UI interface it showed 0. Then realized that it default started in Homestead mode. So iI closed parity process manually and then started with "parity ui --chain=kovan"parity ui --chain=kovan parameters.

This time it did open in kovan mode but again it asked to create a new account and there was no way to skip it. I killed parity process. Copied the json key file from "C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Parity\Ethereum\keys\ethereum"C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Parity\Ethereum\keys\ethereum to "C:\Users\Susmit\AppData\Roaming\Parity\Ethereum\keys\kovan"C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Parity\Ethereum\keys\kovan folder again restarted parity with same parameters.

But unfortunately it didn't help and still asked for creating a new account.

  So need a way to start parity by providing my account details so that it it loads the same and doesn't ask to create a new one.
