Fresh Install Asking for username/Password - wizard_notStart - 2024-03-06

Hello All

used and uninstall jellyfin a Year ago,  I reinstalled again but   I'm unable to setup initial wizard it just goes to username/password screen, tried changing Browsers (brave, Firefox, chrome) private windows, clearing browser cache,history every thing but still same  did reddit search as there were some cases where suggested to clear <%APPDATA%>/jellyfin, I deleted everything that has jellyfin in APPDATA folder uninstalled it again clearing browser and all did it all again but still same issue

Done this cycle 5 times. It would be of great help if someone let me know how to resolve this

OS: Windows 10 x64
Jellyfin Server Version: 10.8.13

Check in C:\ProgramData\ if you have a jellyfin folder.

I have the same problem on Win11. I had to reinstall Windows, and now its asking for my password. But the Admin account what i had for a few days ago, didnt had a password. And yes i have a Jellyfin folder in C:\ProgramData\
What should i do?
