cant get out of a wizard? - M B - 2025-06-08

So, i have installed a jellyfin server as a service on a port 8097. 
On some coimputers in my local network when i open it
with
http://server:8097

I get redirected to 

http://server:8097/web/#/wizardstart.html
and the wizard never ends?

i can, however open the 
http://server:8097/web/#/home.html manually.

Also I am concerned, like even when a server is installed, I seem to be able to enter the url 
http://server:8097/web/#/wizardstart.html manually and it allows me to go through wizard again, that means anyone can reset an admin password simply going through the wizard any time/?

thank you!

In your config folder open system.xml and set 

Code:
<IsStartupWizardCompleted>true</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

thank you! Done that but I still can manually go to web/#/wizardstart.html and reset the admin password!

That's because you are you'll re-logging in from a browser that remembers a session with the admin account. This topic has already been brought up and debunked by the Dev team. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/6486

I see, thank you! though I would think the wizard should not be accesisble at all
I have tried to open in incognito and I see that the page is available though i cant seem to choose a language and press next

also i can still access
http://server:port/web/#/wizarduser.html
