My dad started a plex server and I think he created my account with my email. So after a few years of this, I wanted to get my own Plex pass and create my whole own plex server. So I created a new account, but I’m unable to use the Plex Server with it. The issue is that with the account my dad made, I started up my own server to have some files on, but now I can’t have my new sole account take over the server, or at least I don’t know how.
I guess the question is, how do I hand over server access or something like that to another account on the same computer.
Unclaim the server, then re-claim with the desired account.
Unclaim:
Login to server. Go to Settings → Server_Name → General
You’ll see “Server signed in as email_address”
Click Sign Out.
Go to Authorized Devices, https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms.
If server is listed, delete it (X). If not listed, then proceed (it should unlist when you clicked Sign Out, this is just a double check).
Sign out of Plex Web (upper right corner, click on avatar/picture, Sign Out).
Close all web browser windows.
Claim:
If on the server: http://127.0.0.1:32400/web. If on another system on same network: http://pms_ip_address:32400/web.
