SOLVED: Account setup

[zedtheimpaler]

Hi 
I have recently set up jellyfin with my nas and a ubuntu server running docker with Portainer
in the prcoess of setting it up i made a mistake with the container set up and figured it would be easier to start from scratch
so i re did the container in portainer and after it didn't generate the first time admin password 
and when i connect to the web-ui it just asks for a username and password (there is no username and password set up)
I have since tried this a couple different ways 
mounting the /config 
in a different path no luck, The forgot password feature also seems to want my computer to be on the local network but because its a docker container on portainer its not a real Ip address that i could connect a device to access the webui on 
I feel like i am missing something simple but I am just not sure on the best way to fix this. 
I think maybe i will have to kill the container then remove it then go into the directorys and delete all the data in the ubuntu that portainer is running on and then re-install but im not too sure if thats the best way to go about it

would be great if someone out there could save me some time 
thanks in advance
