open-webui: Account Activation Pending

If you get the following error: Account Activation Pending
Contact Admin for WebUI Access
Your account status is currently pending activation.
To access the WebUI, please reach out to the administrator.
Admins can manage user statuses from the Admin Panel.
Admin: User (admin@localhost)
Open WebUI stores each account's role (pending, user, admin) in its SQLite database, and normally the very first account created is auto-promoted to admin — but if that didn't happen cleanly (e.g. a previous run, crash, or port conflict interfered), your account gets stuck as pending, which blocks access even with WEBUI_AUTH=False. The fix is to update that account's role directly in the database and then just refresh the browser tab.

docker exec -it open-webui python3 -c "
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('/app/backend/data/webui.db')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute(\"UPDATE user SET role='admin'\")
conn.commit()
print(c.rowcount, 'user(s) updated')
