You’re self-hosted, so you just need to do something like this:

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

```

You can enter your email address there and change your password (or any user’s password. It doesn’t have to be an admin).

Changing the Email address is harder.

Something like

```plaintext
./launcher enter app
rails c
u=User.find_by_email('old@address.com')
ue=UserEmail.find_by(user_id: u.id)
ue.email_addrress='new@fun.com'
ue.save

```

Might work, but that’s more of a hint than a solution.

Easierr would be to create another admin account, log in with it, remove admin privs from that account, change the email address, then make it admin again.
