I changed password. I can still log in but I can’t access my own content. I’ve tried following this [Why am I locked out of Server Settings and how do I get in? | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/) but I still get:
Not authorized
You do not have access to this server

When you opted to sign-out all devices, this includes your server.
That means you need to re-link your server to your account. To do that you need to access the server through its local IP address and from within the same subnet (e.g. [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) if you’re on the same machine, http://[PMS IP address]:32400/web otherwise)
There’s absolutely no need to clear those information from the preferences.xml (or deleting the entire file).

I visited my local subdomain and not my local IP, that made all the difference! Thank you so much! \<3
