I have a DigitalOcean Marketplace installation instance. I am running
Ubuntu 22.04.3
Ghost-CLI version: 1.25.3
Node.js v18.17.1
the database is MySQL, although I do not know the version.

When I attempt to reset a password, the system takes a long time and then gives me the error “Request was rejected due to server error” which I suspect was a timeout error.

This is especially problematic since I’ve forgotten my Admin password.

Sounds like you don’t have your outgoing mail server configured correctly. At least, that’d be my first guess. You should be able to get into the server and access logs and solve the problem, if it is outbound email. See How do I reset my Droplet's root password? :: DigitalOcean Documentation. for how to reset the root password for the server if you need to, and then I think that droplet image probably has logs at /var/www/yourghostinstance/content/logs.

I have SSH access so that’s good. When I look at the logs, this is what I see. What is it telling me?

there’s a whole lot more to each of those lines – they’re getting truncated. Please figure out how to get the rest of the line to display.

You’re right! There’s a lot more. Here’s those same lines:

Hard to read while side scrolling on my phone, but I think those are all login attempts? We need a password reset attempt.

You’ll probably also need to share the mail part of your config.production.json.
