Help please. I am a long time Plex user and have been stumped with an issue for several days. Due to my ISP going down with a service outage , I’ve had to do a complete reinstall of Plex. Here lies the issue. I have completely uninstalled PMS and reinstalled multiple times, however the new set up is forcing me to login and is completely skipping the Server set up function. I am lost. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Uninstalling the Plex server software is intentionally not removing the old metadata, libraries and your user account info from the registry.
If you want to assign your plex server a new “identity” with a new plex account, while retaining your old library and metadata, perform this procedure: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/
(there is no need to uninstall it beforehand)
If you also want to get rid of your old metadata and libraries, perform the full uninstallation: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/
Thanks Otto, I will follow your instructions when my Wife let’s me have my PC back. SHE is Christmas shopping and prefers my 32 in Monitor to her 10 inch iPad.
