Hello,
I have installed discourse on macOS, following through this([Install Discourse on macOS for development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-macos-for-development/15772)) guide, and it’s worked perfectly fine.
However, I changed some settings to enable\_sso and now I can’t login to Discourse with my Admin account. I tried to install discourse from scratch, but I think database records still exist, and I end up with the same problem.
What I am trying to ask here, how can I have really a clean reinstall of Discourse on my macOS.
Thanks in advance.

Our SSO guide has a section on this:
> [@Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setup-discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045/1):
>
> ### What if you check it by mistake?
>
> If you check `enable_sso` by mistake and need to revert to the original state and no longer have access to the admin panel, visit `/users/admin-login` and follow the instructions.
>
> OR, from server console run:
>
> ```plaintext
> cd /var/discourse
> ./launcher enter app
> rails c
> irb > SiteSetting.enable_sso = false
> irb > SiteSetting.enable_local_logins = true
> irb > exit
> exit
>
> ```

Yes, I was aware of the guide and instructions over there, even I tried those steps, it doesn’t seem that those commands took effect. Anyways, I change site\_settings.yml file’s enable\_sso component’s value to false and relaunch the server, but this time I am getting an “Unknown error” while I am trying to login with an admin account.

```plaintext
rails c
SiteSetting.enable_sso = false
SiteSetting.enable_local_logins = true
exit
```
Will 100% disable sso. Maybe you have another unrelated problem?

I tried this, but still I am getting the same problem.. Might it be related with the force\_https options. Every time, I want to test my sso url, I need to setup Discourse locally from scratch, it is really frustrating and tiring. 😥
