Lost a username
Hello everyone,
I have lost my administrator username. I can access the container to recreate an admin account with a new password, but I don't know how to do it and there is nothing about this case in the documentation.

1. Shut down Homarr
2. Create a full backup of all Homarr files in case something goes wrong
3. Download a SQL Lite database editor and open the users table
4. Search for your username, note it down and then close the editor
5. Start Homarr again, use CLI to reset the password....

Were you able to reset the password this way?
So I was able to display the accounts used and then click on them with the reset password commands.
