Can not log in with saved username.

[TommyBuho]

Hi all. This is all local on my Umbrel with RazPi 4.
I logged into BTCPay Server for the first time locally from my Umbrel server. I allowed my username and password to be stored on my keychain. I was playing with it for several days setting things up without logging out. My computer logged me out automatically. When I try to log back in it says "the username is not in an email format". When I try all variations I can not log in. So somehow I was logged in for the first time and my password manager saved the wrong username. This is the first and ONLY username/login associated with BTCPS.
I do have some dust bitcoin in the wallets so I do not want to just erase and start over. Is there a way to find the username/password sequence in the local login files?
Or is there a way to change the username and password.

I do have the Recovery Seed.

Thanks.

Usually you don't use a username but email address to log in. See if you can find that instead of a username.

Other than that you have the option to reset the admin via this workaround: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/FAQ/ServerSettings/#forgot-btcpay-admin-password

Thanks for your responses. I have not been successful. Umbrel is great when I do not need help.

Sorry, I don't have an Umbrel instance to test with. I guess it's best to bring this up as an issue on their repo or join their support channels to see if someone else can guide you.

Is there a place where I can check the log files to see what email I used to login with?

You can run docker ps to get the name of the BTCPay Server container and then use docker logs CONTAINER_NAME.

I did find as you suggested docker ps and docker logs CONTAINER_NAME above but now a bit lost.
