Lost access to admin

Pretty sure that just unlocks the account, doesn't reset the password. What you can do if the password reset function isn't working is to re-enable the start up wizard.

After you've unlocked your account stop Jellyfin.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin

Open the system.xml.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/jellyfin/system.xml

Near the top there will be a line named "IsStartupWizardComplete" which is currently true. Set it to false. Save and quit.

Restart Jellyfin

Code:

sudo systemctl start jellyfin

When you access Jellyfin it will go through the admin account setup process, including setting the password. Skip all the other steps.
