Please describe your bug

So I haven't used my server for 3-4 weeks (holidays). When I tried to use Jellyfin again, my password was rejected. I know it is correct because I am using a password manager for it. I have then started the battle of trying to reset password.

This is what I am getting, I think something definitly went wrong somewhere. It tells me the file is undefined for the pin :
