So, I foolishly disabled all the login options in the admin settings of my discourse installation.  
Then I logged out.  
Now I can’t log in. When I click ‘login’, the login box is completely empty.

Silly I know, but is there any way to restore?

You’ll have to SSH into your server, `cd /var/discourse`, `./launcher enter app` and then `rails c` to changes the values of some of the `SiteSettings` 😉

If you have access to the server, sure:

```ruby
/var/discourse/launcher enter app
rails c
SiteSetting.enable_local_logins = true

```

So, about those presence features… perhaps Discourse also needs an “@user is composing a reply” indicator? 😆

I would still continue writing my reply 😉

In addition to modifying site settings via the console as suggested above, admins can also get in through the admin-login system. `https://forum.example.com/u/admin-login`
