Topic: Cant login iredadmin after changing admin user

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

1.7.2
Download
Ubuntu 22.04
Mysql
Nginx
No

I deleted a domain from the mailserver. But I forgot that the admin user for iredadmin was postmaster@thatdomain. So I can not login anymore. I changed the iredadmin url to the new domain and can access login page. I have also created a new postmaster@thenewdomain and created a new password and added in the vmail db. But I cant login. What do I do wrong

TIA

Re: Cant login iredadmin after changing admin user

I created a new account with the email address postmaster@thenewdomain and updated the password in the vmail database, but still can't log in to iRedAdmin — what else do I need to check or update to get this account recognized as admin?
