Lost admin account - lupine - 2024-12-20
I seem to have lost my admin account, either by overriding it with OAUTH or just by forgetting the username and password.
Is there a way to make my current account admin or just create a new admin account on cli or something?

Enable the setup wizard.
/etc/jellyfin/system.xml for a bare metal install
/config/config/system.xml for a docker install
Stop jellyfin then change "IsStartupWizardComplete" from true to false. Start jellyfin and then access it from a browser and re-do the account creation process, skip the rest of the steps.

I followed this, and managed to create a new account, but its not an admin account, as I am still missing the admin dashboard.

I just nuked the whole installation and got a fresh start.
