lost my plex password which is required to update my password of course. Other than just deleting my account is there another way to dig it up in Windows 11. Went through a bunch of reclaiming issues recently. Help please!!! Also need the correct password to log into Samsung tvs.

There is a “lost password” feature when you log in on [plex.tv](http://plex.tv).  
Requires you to have access to the email address that is connected to your plex account.

Thanks for that; did change password just fine but still marooned in plex as it can’t see my plex server again. Removed server and plex app and re booted the pc; reloaded both the server and the app, logged in with new password; nothing change shows my server but can’t get in going to investigate Jellyfin and a couple of others; just want something stable!! Working in the registry is difficult for me.

You can avoid that by following: [You need to reclaim your server, but don't dare to touch the Windows Registry](https://forums.plex.tv/t/you-need-to-reclaim-your-server-but-dont-dare-to-touch-the-windows-registry/809720/1)
