Can't login or use passwordreset - Brad Gaspard - 2025-12-05

I originally upgraded to 10.11.3 and had several issues due to what appeared to be a locked database. Upgraded to 10.11.4 and now Quick Connect code doesn't allow me to connect, I can connect with my credentials and when trying to use the passwordreset.json file, it still doesn't let me login. Currently I am locked out of my jellyfin server.

Checking the logs, this error keeps popping up so it seems the database is still readonly. 

[2025-12-05 07:36:15.574 -06:00] [ERR] [28] Jellyfin.Api.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request. URL "POST" "/Users/authenticatebyname".
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbUpdateException: An error occurred while saving the entity changes. See the inner exception for details.
---> Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException (0x80004005): SQLite Error 8: 'attempt to write a readonly database'.
