Hi everyone,
I recently lost access to my Home Assistant and I have no idea how to log back in.
I had set up a custom domain for my HA by following this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXAwT9N-7Hw
The domain was registered through a Japanese website that kept sending me lots of promotional emails. Even after unsubscribing, they continued sending me stuff, so I ended up blocking all emails from them.
After that, I noticed I could no longer access my HA. I think the main reason is that I forgot to renew the domain, and since the emails were blocked, I never received any renewal notices.
My HA is installed on an old x86-64 machine, and I used to access it through the browser using the custom domain.
One more thing: I was receiving around 5 notifications a day that different IPs were trying to access my HA, even though the guy in the video said this setup was safe.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
Is there a way to regain access to my HA without reinstalling and reconfiguring everything from scratch?
– Tried reactivating my old domain, but I couldn’t. (It seems the domain stays unavailable for about a year before it can be claimed by someone else.)
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
