Hello

I’m locked out of my account even though I reset all security parameters with the command "sudo node-red admin init"

And reset with new names and new password or even no security. It locks me out? WTF?

Hi @Sebas

Some questions to help us understand your situation.

After editing the settings file, have you restarted Node-RED to pick up those changes?

Is this Node-RED exposed to the internet?

When you say you are locked out, did you previously setup a username/password but it is no longer working?
