October 30, 20214 yr I moved about 6 months ago to a new house so I unplugged my unraid server and all my network equipment and took it all with me. At the new house I plugged in the same network equipment along with my unraid server and i now can't get to it. When I plug a monitor into the unraid server I see the ip address is 169.254.250.38 and I can't fix it. I have been trying to figure this out for the past 6 months on and off and I'm having no luck. I am running unraid 6.9.0-rc2 on my server. I can't seem to remember my username or passwords so I need help figuring a way around that also. my network is unifi dream machine connected to a unifi 24-poe switch. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

I attached a screen shot. what should I do now?

October 30, 20214 yr Author ok so typing in root with no password works. I typed "diagnostics" in the CLI and it said it made a zip but when i plug the usb into my computer and check the log folder there is nothing there. just for the hell of it I made a new usb and booted it on the server. I still get the same 169.254 ip address issue even after setting a static IP when i made the USB. not sure what to do now.

I assume you used a new flash drive. Did you try to get a Diagnostics file? Since you moved and I assume you packed your server, did you make sure that you plugged your boot flash drive back into a USB2 port on the MB.
