Thank you very much for your helpful answer; it solved my problem. However, a new issue has arisen. When I click on login, I see this message: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/e/8/6/e866619e01dab3c0e9db5198e45ed01493cedb46.png) ---

After you log in, can you re-enable Discourse ID logins or local logins (`enable discourse id` or `enable local logins via email` settings)? ---

Administrators can only log in via email; there is no other way to log in. ---
