+# Restoring Admin Priviliges
+
+This guide will help you restore/give admin access to any account without needing an account with admin. If you ever accidentally remove your permissions, this is the easiest way to get them back.
+
+All you will need is access to the `watcharr.log` file.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Login with the account you'd like to give admin to.
+
+2. Navigate to the `/request_admin` page manually (ex: `127.0.0.1:3080/request_admin`) and click the `request` button.

+
+3. Check your `watcharr.log` file (or simply check `docker compose logs` if using docker compose) and look for the generated admin token (highlighted in the image below).

+
+4. Enter the code from the log (you should have been taken here after clicking the request button in step 2).

+
+5. Click `Check Token`, if it is correct and still valid (they expire after ~2 minutes or once used), your account will now have admin.
