Hi guys

I’ve created a new account to post here

The other day I cleared my cache and unfortunately was logged out of my Plex server. As I haven’t logged in for a while I have forgotten my password.

For the last week I have been trying to reset my password, but the email does not arrive. I have tried dozens of times on 3 computers, multiple browsers and even on my phone.

I do not have a paid subscription so there is no contact email for support.

Could anyone assist?

Thanks so much

First please check your spam / junk mail folder

If still not found, please send me private message with details of the email address you are expecting it to arrive at and the plex.tv account you have requested a password reset for

Replied to your message. The account and email you say you have reset password for do not exist on plex.tv

I presume the issue is now resolved. I can see that you have successfully signed in about 3 hours ago

Please send me private message giving details of what plex.tv account name and email address you are resetting password for. There have been issues getting emails to Hotmail accounts in the past. Anyway send me the details and I will pass it on.  
Only times when you have gone through the reset process

Hello, I created a new plex account and the password is not working. I clicked on forgot password but never received the email to reset my password. How do I send you a pm with my new username?

Hi there, i’m having problems receiving my reset password email.  
I searched the forums and found you replying to this issue.

The thing is: i’m still connected to the account on my main computer, but can’t seem to connect it elsewhere. That’s why i wanted a password reset.
