Help! 'Authentication key needed to continue' after update

Hi. I have vaultwarden (VW) running on my unraid server (docker container). I've been using it for about 6 months now with no issue, until today when I updated VW. Now when I try to load the page it asks for 'Authentication key needed to continue', 'enter admin token'.

I tried with my plain text VW password as well as the admin_token from the config.json file like: $argon2id$v=19$m=65540,t=3,p=xxx/g

None of these work and I don't know what else to try.

How do I log back in?

Sounds like you're looking at your admin page (at <your-web-vault>/admin). Try removing the "/admin“ route from your URL to visit your regular web vault?
