Ivbe also lost access to my NAS server on Qnap what a complete f*** up this has been. How the hell do I get it back~??

You can try to reclaim the server by using the admin account. Good luck though. Mine is still there but refuses to connect so I had to start all over again.

Shame that didn’t work for me. My “old” server is still showing up but I cannot access it nor can I reclaim it. It made me start a new server and the name is identical to the old one. It’s running on a QNAP TS-653D and it won’t let me access the old database.

@andrewmitchell You didn’t delete the OLD server from plex.tv There is a server created 6 hours ago and another one, with the same name, 1 hour ago. Which should I remove?

From what I can see on my authorised devices there is one from 3 hours ago and one from 16 hours ago. The newest one is the one I don’t need. My original server was created several months ago though.

I will send you a PM. In it, I’ll show you what Plex.tv has for your servers. You can review and let me know . I am asking this because one has more shares defined than the other.
