Stupid Plex
Forced password resets and logging out all your devices and losing server access
It was 2022 when this occurred last, Plex had a breach and they forced all of their users to reset their passwords. This week the same thing happened again and I totally forgot how much of a pain it was to "reclaim" my server when it gets disconnected from my account.
Here is what I did to reclaim mine in case you ran into the same issue.
I'm using Unraid with Plex running on the binhex-plexpass docker container.
Remote into the Docker container, for me I go to Docker then the docker container and click on Console.
Go to this address and login with your plex account, this will give you a claim ID:
Open the console window and type:
$ cd /config/Plex Media Server
$ curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:32400/myplex/claim?token=CLAIMID"
Some XML will show up on the screen and ends in </MyPlex>
Go to the local IP of your server http://192.168.1.15:32400/ and you should now have access to the server.
