I just installed a new instance of Discourse and restored a previous backup on it. However, after restoring the backup I am no longer able to log in with my (administrator) account and email is also disabled so that I can’t send myself a reset password mail (I get the notification “All outgoing email has been globally disabled by an administrator. No email notifications of any kind will be sent.”).

1. Why is my password no longer accepted?
2. Why is sending of emails disabled?
3. How do I fix the above?
