- Description: Forced password resets and logging out all your devices and losing server access

It was [2022 when this occurred last,](https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/09/another-plex-data-breach-sees-company-urge-users-to-change-their-password/??ref=jasontucker.blog) 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:

[http://plex.tv/claim](http://plex.tv/claim?ref=jasontucker.blog)

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/](http://192.168.1.15:32400/?ref=jasontucker.blog) and you should now have access to the server.
