You are probably out of luck if you screw up the admin email… Probably the one thing in discourse that you can’t screw up, as the admin controls everything and your only way to recover an admin password is thru its email…

EDIT: Maybe a ninja here can teach you how to modify the database record directly… The email is stored in a simple table.
