All I did was change my Plex login password, and now I’m getting “Servername is currently unavailable”. I’ve tried rebooting the computer that the server is on, but I still get that message. Is there a way to fix this? Please help!

If you have ticked the checkbox “sign out all devices…” during the process, this is just as expected.

See [You need to reclaim your server, but don't dare to touch the Windows Registry](https://forums.plex.tv/t/you-need-to-reclaim-your-server-but-dont-dare-to-touch-the-windows-registry/809720/1)

That did it! I guess I shouldn’t have checked the sign out of all devices box. Now I know better.

Thank you!

It was the right choice if you have changed the pw because of a data leak.
