So, I got a notification that there had been a login on my account somewhere that I wasn’t at… so it said to change password and I did.

Now, when I bring up Plex Media Server, from icons in task section of Win 10, all there is is a black screen on browser with PLEX in the middle of it and nowhere to sign in.

What have I screwed up now? And how do I fix it and log in.

Thanks

You may have given your account and new password to that fishing agency that just hit pay dirt…

Can you sign out - then sign back in (with the new password)?  
(under your ‘Account Icon’ - upper right)

sounds bad.

‘Professional aide’ may be along shortly.

I will ping @OttoKerner as he is most likely to know what to do next.

I suggest you close/delete that other thread you just made.

You must **not** use ‘Login with Google’.  
Use “Login with Email” and use your email address as your user name and the new password you created.

Thanks for your time Otto.

I don’t use  
“Login with Google” I use “Login with email”

I can login to PLEX Media Player. But when I try to login to PLEX Media Server, there is nothing to type to, no button, no fields to type into. I just get a Grey Screen with the PLEX logo in the middle.

I deleted all the PLEX apps from my desktop and re-downloaded and re-installed. Still same.

Technically you don’t login to the _server._  
You login to the web app.  
Which web app are you using?

Did you tick the checkbox “Sign out connected devices…” when you changed the password?

I am using PLEX Media Player Version 4.29.2 for windows 10

I don’t believe I did check the “sign out of all” box … sorry… feel foolish about all this and thank you very much for your time.

Please use the web app for now. [http://localhost:32400/web](http://localhost:32400/web) and [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv)

Once you have successfully signed into that, we can handle PMP.

When I click on [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv) everything is fine.

When I click on [http://localhost:32400/web](http://localhost:32400/web) I only get the Gray screen with the PLEX logo in the middle and no other way to proceed

Have you tried the ‘incognito’/‘privacy’ mode of your web browser? This is supposed to disable potentially interfering browser addd-ons etc.

Incognito window did allow me to sign in and open [http://localhost:32400/web](http://localhost:32400/web)

Think it might be pop-up blocker doing this?

Or some other browser add-on. No other way to find out than disabling them one by one until it works.  
Then re-enable until it breaks again.  
Then try and find a way to define an exception for the `localhost` in the settings of that add-on.
