      @bxen Maybe not the brightest idea (since I do not know what configuration might be lost), but what if you deploy a new XOA instance, connect to the master node and try to fix things from there? Obviously, this doesn't give you access to the web UI of your initial XO from the source, but you can work with the VMs or restore backups if necessary.

        Locate the packages/xo-server directory to your from sources built xen orchestra instance. There should be a file in dist/recover-account-cli.mjs, copy this file as dist/recover-account-cli.mjs and then run it from the dist directory ./recover-account-cli.mjs admin@something.tld, it'll ask password and either reset the existing users password or create a new one with admin privileges if there isn't one with the email address.

          @gskger Thanks! Sounds like an idea. Then it's just the backups and other XO-related that needs to be setup again. It's something I could live with. I'll try @ronivay's idea first though. Maybe I'm lucky there 🙂

                  @bxen I tried the solution @ronivay suggested and it works on my playlabs XO from source. I did not even had to copy recover-account-cli.mjs because it was already in the /opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server/distdirectory. An admin user was created and I was able to login.

                    Yeah you're right, it indeed should be there already. I must have done something to it in my own lab 😄

                      I completely missed that in the troubleshooting documentation but it is already there - nice 👍

                        As @gskger siad, this was already documented and visible by searching the term "recover" in the search bar 🙂

                          Uh 😊 - I tried a lot of other search terms, just not recover. Anyway - I'm back on track, thank you very much for all your help.
