Good morning. I somehow lost access to my local instance of docker signoz. I followed these instructions to remove accounts, but now I am missing an "invitation" and I should "contact my admin". Any pointers to re-create an admin account would be appreciated.

I'm not with signoz but I had a similar issue -- I was locked out of a new instance of signoz after destroying my original because it was trying to use the password I created with the old install (which I forgot). my solution was to delete this sqllite db that had all the user creds in it located at
you might be able to modify the creds directly in this db to reset your pw but i don't know for sure

Thanks for posting! Let me ask to clarify: did you modify the credentials on that DB or went ahead and deleted it? If it's the latter I'm assuming booting up the container re-creates default account...

I deleted it. that triggered recreation of the default account, but I don't know if the existing data will still be accessible though if you have any, I didn't so I can't confirm

Thanks! In my case, I can reproduce all the data I had there as this is a lab setup for a limited set of use cases, so I'm fine with that.

Updating this thread for closure: thanks @J Gr for your suggestion, it works as expected: I was presented with a form to create admin account as it was for the first time, subsequently gaining access to the monitoring UI. Cheers!
