Server Version#: Version 4.76.1 Player Version#: N/A As the title explains, I changed the password of my admin account and now I don’t have permission to access the local plex server hosted on my NAS (via a docker container). All I see is the below image. Does anyone know how on earth I give the a…

This is the way… the ONLY way I was able to reclaim my server.

I have no access to my LAN and will not have any time soon. Is there a workaround for using the LAN IP?

This worked for me. Thank you very much. Using QNAP. Thankfully I’m moderately good at the command line so nothing in this process was too complicated but I feel for anyone who doesn’t know how to even get to a command line interface on QNAP or the like. They are going to be in a bit of trouble. …

Retried the curl command again, five hours later and it worked. Go figure. Thanks for sharing the steps. Now if i could only get my LG TV to successfully relink to my account :joy:

Thank you, ChuckPa! THIS is the answer for those on DSM 7 (Synology) who are not “authorized” to access their servers after the password change. THIS works. Thanks again.

In DSM 6 Package Center I only get a prompt to confirm the uninstall and nothing showing options for “KEEP”. I went ahead and did the uninstall and then reinstalled but I am not seeing my server or any “Claim” in the Settings/General in a browser on the same network. Help!

I’m also currently running DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 6. I didn’t want to change to 7 because the configuration to run PLEX was never clear to me. Now I’ve gone and tried to change the password on PLEX and I have no connection. So I’m looking for an answer too.

When i reinstall Plex there is no option for a claim token. can you send an image to show what you are referring to?

Changed admin password and now admin doesn't have access to the local media server
