Unable to login cryoSPARC web application + api_dev_app not starting SOLVED

Hi, I’m a new user. I have installed cryoSPARC but can’t access it through the web application - I get continously incorrect password error (even though the password is the one I set) I have tried different browsers, stopping and starting and re-starting cryoSPARC. I have requested a token to reset password but I have not received any token (this was over 24h ago and I have requested 3-4 times).

On PuTTY cryosparc launches seemingly ok but when I check the status cryosparcm status it never seems to run app_api_dev. Could that be the reason I’m unable to access through the web application? How do I get the app_api_dev to run?

CryoSPARC process status:

app RUNNING pid 2670969, uptime 0:29:48
app_api RUNNING pid 2670983, uptime 0:29:46
app_api_dev STOPPED Not started

Welcome to the forum @winne.

A token will not be emailed to you automatically, but is intended to be communicated to you by an admin-level user of your CryoSPARC instance.
Based on

this admin-level user may be you.

Please can you confirm, by running the command
cryosparcm listusers,
that a CryoSPARC login has already been created.

This is expected for a typical CryoSPARC instance.

Hi and thank you for the answer @wtempel !

cryosparcm listusers gives back my username & email, so you are right - I am the admin (its listed as true).

I was able to reset my password with cryosparcm resetpassword by following your advice on previous answer on the discussion board –>here

My issue was solely with the password, now that I reset it I am able to login with no problem.

Thank you so much!
