How to regain Admin access when Discourse ID is disabled and before ticking Enable Local Login option?

So I may have completely messed up and unable to forever gain access to my community. I wanted to turn off Discourse ID and let users sign up locally, with their own username and password, and not route through Discourse ID.

I am logged on my Discourse ID connected account, went to admin section, disabled Discourse ID, and ticked the “Enable Local Login.” However, I didn’t create any local accounts as admins.

Now I am unable to access my community at all. I click Sign Up, it just says Welcome with no login fields.

I go to Sign In, and it says No login methods are configured. Administrators can visit /u/admin-login to reconfigure the site.

I go to /u/admin-login, and enter my email, and I never receive the email.

What do I do?

Do you have ssh access to this site? You may be able to use the command line to gain access. Do you have email credentials configured for sending?

are you hosted or self-hosted? if hosted, contact whoever is hosting your site.

if self-hosted:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake admin:create

follow the prompts to create an admin login.
