"Reset admin password" broken in 4.7.12

I'm running `emby/embyserver:4.7.12.0` - recently updated following the recommendations - in docker under linux.

This evening my login for my admin account didn't work, which is strange, but I thought I'd go and reset it.

According the official docs I should get a message on the Forgot Password screen... but I don't....

SSH'ing into my server shows the `passwordreset.txt` file, but it's empty...

The password/account was certainly working prior to the update to 4.7.12, and my admin password is stored in the browser, so I'm not typing it wrong.

I've tried redeploying the container/restarting docker, but no luck.

My server has never been accessible on the internet, and I didn't have any of the signs/notifications that my system could have been breached with the recent hack.

HI, what exactly happens after you hit submit on the forgot password screen?

My screen grab is after pressing the button.

Visually nothing happens, but the passwordreset file gets created on disk

I swapped to the beta channel to see if that would work, but it didn't fix anything, in fact Emby became unresponsive.

I then downgraded back to 4.7.12. On running Emby promoted me to create a new user (I recreated my admin one with the same details).

Emby then started with all my old settings and existing details.

Definitely not a recommend path for a solution, and it was probably more luck than judgment. But I had a backup of docker before I started

🤷

Same behavior for me. I Cannot reset my admin account, and cannot connect using my admin either.

Is the any estimate on when the security update will be online? Is it secure to keep the server on till it is available?
