Server Version#: 1.28.2  
Player Version#:  
QNAP: TS-435D  
I received an email from PLEX ([noreply@plex.tv](mailto:noreply@plex.tv)) about a data breach and it suggested to change my password, so I went to the Plex website and requested a password change but now when I try and login to my Plex server via IP address :32400 I’m receiving the error, “Not Authorized You do not have access to this server” The Plex server was working perfectly up until I changed my password.  
I’ve tried logging in to the Plex server using Firefox, Chrome and Edge, the latest versions as of 8/24/2020 but I receive the same error on all of them.

I rebooted my QNAP - that didn’t work  
I shut down the server running on the QNAP - that didn’t work  
I changed my password again - that didn’t work

I can access [app.plex.tv](http://app.plex.tv) with my new password but obviously by Plex server is not showing up.

Probably a dumb move, but in my frustration I uninstalled Plex, restarted my QNAP then reinstalled Plex, figuring I could set it up again as a new server but I’m still getting the same error as above. “Not Authorized You do not have access to this server”.

Any suggestions? I’ve even willing to start a new Plex server from scratch.

> I received the email and followed all the instructions as direction and boy am I sorry I did so. I’ve got very strong passwords so I probably should have let it be, but here we are. I cannot even see my server name listed on my plex homepage, much less being told I need to claim it again. Can someone from Plex please help me figure out what is going on . Following your instructions got me here. I would appreciate your help getting my server back. Thanks.

ChuckPa,
