I tried this option as well: [https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-tips/276247/21#second-choice-after-a-hard-password-reset-on-plextv-3](https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-tips/276247/21#second-choice-after-a-hard-password-reset-on-plextv-3)

But this returns:

[root@TUXSIL eljejer]# systemctl start plexmediaserver  
[root@TUXSIL eljejer]# curl -X POST ‘[http://127.0.0.1:32400/myplex/claim?token=claim-LpVu-1xysxxQfoeSb\_3w](http://127.0.0.1:32400/myplex/claim?token=claim-LpVu-1xysxxQfoeSb_3w)’

Internal Server Error
# 500 Internal Server Error
