  I've had a similar issue with the same code. Planning to revisit today. Not sure I can help but at least provide more data points.

  
  

  
  

  I think I removed the admin user from the DB directly then tried to reinitialize a new user to get back in. Obviously that's not a good solution.

  Oh, thank you, how did you go about that then ?

  
  

  
  

  "use strict";

  
  

  var

  importDefault = (this && this.

  importDefault)

  function (mod) {
  return (mod && mod.esModule) ? mod : { "default": mod };
  };
  Object.defineProperty(exports, "esModule", { value: true });
  const nodemailer_1 = __importDefault(require("nodemailer"));
  const mockEmailHandler = async (emailConfig) => {
  const testAccount = await nodemailer_1.default.createTestAccount();
  const smtpOptions = {
  ...emailConfig,
  host: 'smtp.ethereal.email',
  port: 587,
  secure: false,
  fromName: emailConfig.fromName

  'Payload CMS',

  
  

  fromAddress: emailConfig.fromAddress || 'info@payloadcms.com',

  
  

  auth: {

  
  

  user: testAccount.user,

  
  

  pass: testAccount.pass,

  
  

  },

  
  

  };

  
  

  return {

  
  

  account: testAccount,

  
  

  transport: nodemailer_1.default.createTransport(smtpOptions),

  
  

  };

  
  

  };

  
  

  exports.default = mockEmailHandler;

  
  

  //# sourceMappingURL=mockHandler.js.map

  
  

  
  

  this is how my mockHandler looks like

  Hey @Daniel502 I've got myself locked out many many times.

  
  
  

  If you are okay with losing your existing users, you can do what @nball said and delete your user collection from the database. To do this, you need to open up MongoDB, connect and find your

  nem-health

  database, right click on the Users collection and hit

  drop

  . Then navigate to

  localhost:3000/admin

  and you should be prompted to create a new first user.

  
  
  

  Or we can go the mock email route and use the ethereal capture service. Add this to your payload.init (the fromName/address can be any value):

  
  
  

  payload.init({
    email: {
      fromName: 'Admin',
      fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
      logMockCredentials: true,
    },
    // ...
  });

  
  
  

  Restart your server - this time you will see mock credentials in your terminal, you will need these later.

  
  
  

  Navigate back to the admin login in your browser, click

  Forgot Password

  and follow the instructions.

  
  
  

  Now head to the mock email provider:

  https://ethereal.email

  and use the credentials that were output to your terminal when you started the server. You should see the

  Reset Password

  email and be able to follow the link to reset your password.

  thank you so much for replying , i really appreciate it. the thing is i don't have a payload.init in my code .

  
  

  
  

  "use strict";

  
  

  var

  importDefault = (this && this.

  importDefault)

  function (mod) {
  return (mod && mod.esModule) ? mod : { "default": mod };
  };
  Object.defineProperty(exports, "esModule", { value: true });
  const nodemailer_1 = __importDefault(require("nodemailer"));
  const mockEmailHandler = async (emailConfig) => {
  const testAccount = await nodemailer_1.default.createTestAccount();
  const smtpOptions = {
  ...emailConfig,
  host: 'smtp.ethereal.email',
  port: 587,
  secure: false,
  fromName: emailConfig.fromName

  'Payload CMS',

  
  

  fromAddress: emailConfig.fromAddress || 'info@payloadcms.com',

  
  

  auth: {

  
  

  user: testAccount.user,

  
  

  pass: testAccount.pass,

  
  

  },

  
  

  };

  
  

  return {

  
  

  account: testAccount,

  
  

  transport: nodemailer_1.default.createTransport(smtpOptions),

  
  

  };

  
  

  };

  
  

  exports.default = mockEmailHandler;

  
  

  //# sourceMappingURL=mockHandler.js.map

  
  

  
  

  this is the current code.

  In the repo you shared it looks like you have payload.init() here?
