I'm using Jellyfin on Linux Mint 22.3. I have a desktop environment, this isn't a dedicated server. I somehow never recorded my Jellyfin password when I set it up and can no longer recall it. I pressed the Forgot Password button at the login interface and it generates a .json file in /var/lib/jellyfin. I don't know what to do with that. I tried to copy the eight digit Pin code there separated by hyphens as a password to log in in conjunction with my User but that does not work.Can someone please tell me what I have to do at this point to log in?
