extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by contacting the administrator email configured in the n8n setup to reset the password.

Guidance

  • Check the n8n documentation or configuration files to find the administrator email address that was set up during the initial configuration.
  • Verify that the email address is correctly configured and reachable.
  • If the administrator email is not found, try checking the n8n settings or database configuration for any clues.
  • Consider checking the n8n version documentation for any specific instructions on password reset for version 2.8.4.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details about the n8n configuration and setup, making it difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Contact the administrator or check the n8n configuration to find the correct administrator email address, as the current setup requires administrative intervention for password reset.
