Hello,
I deployed n8n in Railway. I have been using it in a laptop that crashed and is not working.
When I try to run it now in a different one by clicking https://primary-production-d811.up.railway.app/ I am asked to sign in as usual. Before in the other computer, it used to sign me automatically as it keeps the logging credentials for all platforms, mails, etc....but in this computer is not happening.
If I click in "Forgot my password" a pop up window says.
Recover password
Please contact your admin. n8n isn’t set up to send email right now.
How can I recover signing credentials?
Thanks

You haven't lost access fully, the issue is that n8n isn't configured to send emails and the old laptop of yours simply had a valid session cookie saved. On your new laptop, the cookie is gone, so it'll ask for a login again.
Open the shell of your project, and run n8n user-management:reset or n8n reset on older versions. This will let you create a new owner account and restore full access immediately.
If user management is enabled, you can run n8n user-management:create and you can then login with that account.
In future though, you should look at setting up emails for n8n. You can view the details on what's required for that here: https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/configuration/user-management-self-hosted/#step-one-smtp
Hope this helps!

Hello
Thanks for the tip...as I just created my account a few days ago and I had no workflows running yet, all I did was to delete and redeploy again so I started from scratch.
Thanks for the help anyway!
