Hi - I have not edited my website lately, thought might be time to. The problem is I forgot my admin password. I had it written down but wont work. I get a cannot authenticate error, I think this maybe due to 2FA. Problem is I don't have any 2FA and dont remember allowing this.
I understand one may not be able to change the Pass of a SuperUser. Though even adding another admin doesn't even work, I get an error when adding as noted here :

I have tried both methods one just throws out an authentication error -
Warning
Unable to connect to authentication service.
The second one throws out an error -
