I had forgotten the admin password for the UI, and so I followed some instructions in the forum for changing the admin password back to admin in mongodb. It seemed like it worked from the output, but now, after restarting all services, I get an “internal server error” while trying to load the UI. Can anybody get me out the of the mess I made? Help! ---

I restored entire proxmox instance to a backup and am back online. Still don’t know my admin password. LOL. ---

Okay, got the password reset. Leaving this here for historical purposes or it can be removed. Used the following article to reset. [Locked Myself Out :(](https://forum.genieacs.com/t/locked-myself-out/3802)
