You don’t make libraries “in an account” you make them on your Plex Media Sever.

Sign into the account with the server and remove the claim to the server. then sign in with the account at ServerIP:32400/web you want and claim the server

You installed the Plex Media Server on your computer.

The server is managed by the “web app” which is a application both built into the server and can also be accessed separately at app.plex.tv

App.plex.tv can have issues accessing a server that is not claimed. that is why it is often best to claim it with the built in local one.

if you are on the same computer as the server then you can click on the Plex server icon in the task tray and choose “open plex”. You will see that opens the web app at http://127.0.0.1:32400/web in your web browser. if you are not on the same computer on local network that it is installed then you need to use the servers local IP rather than 127.0.0.1

Thank you bro for all your help my problem is solved
I just have an inquiry, what will happen if I wanted to change my PC or if I wanted to format it? how to restore the server on the same account?

You need to back up the server data folder and the additional settings in the registry.

info about that can be found here. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201539237-backing-up-plex-media-server-data/

Can I simply in the new PC press remove server and make server again in the new PC with the same account if I do not care much of the content of it most importantly I want to have the server claimed on the same account?

You can have multiple servers on different computers if you want. You just need to claim each one. I personally have 3 servers.

the same way you claimed the first one. you sign into the the local web app go to general settings of server and hit the claim button and it will claim it with the account that you signed into web app.

There is some more info on other ways to claim here. New Claiming Requirement for Windows
