Can't create new user after forgetting password

Hello,

I managed to forget my user password so I followed the directions in the Authentication documentation and deleted the files in the .storage directory.

Started Hassio again and get the prompt to create a user. No matter what I enter it doesn’t take it and I get error messages saying the “Name is already in use” in the log. I tried a name I know has never been used. This is with the latest version.

I also have the same issue with a HA docker I have running on my Synology NAS.

Thanks for any advice.
