i upgraded a binary install after which web login was working today all web user logins are invalid forgot password doesn’t work saying no email is setup but i can see in the db that it is we are using mariadb and the user table looks good i am stumped as to how to fix this situation or what caused it. is it possible to reset the user database ? ---

followed this page to add a new admin and change user passwords : [https://bowfinger.de/blog/2022/04/lost-gitea-local-admin-passwor](https://bowfinger.de/blog/2022/04/lost-gitea-local-admin-password/)d/ which seems to have worked but i needed to run gitea doctor convert when a user logs in they are directed to [https://gitserver.com/serviceworker.js](https://gitserver.com/serviceworker.js) and get a 404 - going to [https://gitserver.com](https://gitserver.com) and everything looks good the heat map and history on the left side are missing what we have now: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/a/a97c7115fdf843dd6ee83b23e5b2fd334f1cbce6.png) and on a working installation 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/2X/3/3dc7300553e6bba749d280fa51885fccf2248b29.png)
