On Windows, if you delete `%USERPROFILE%\.zrok` you will completely reset the configuration on your system. ---

Are you able to access [https://api-v1.zrok.io](https://api-v1.zrok.io) in a web browser and log in? ---

Are you sure you’re using the correct account token with your `zrok enable` command? The correct account token is availble in a couple of places in the web console. ---

I’m having the same issue. when I try to rebase the account token from an enabled enviroment I get ” **ben@jellyfinmedia** : **~** $ zrok rebase accountToken \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* [ERROR] environment not enabled; 'zrok enable' your environment instead” It is really frustrating because I tried zrok disable and tried to delete the enviroments via ui but the reserved shares are regenerating after I delete them in the ui. I deleted ~/.zrok but I’m still getting the ”you are trying to use the zrok service at: [https://api-v1.zrok.io](https://api-v1.zrok.io) you can change your zrok service endpoint using this command: $ zrok config set apiEndpoint ” I tried to set it to the api endpoint I have acces to over the ui at [https://api-v1.zrok.io/](https://api-v1.zrok.io/). I’m looking for some assisstance I’ve read the documentation forwards and backwards but I can’t seem to solve this issue. P.S. If this is a separate issue let me know and I will make a new post. Thanks in advance! ---

Ok so I didn’t have a typical setup because I wasn’t considering the docker-compose to easily connect my reserved shares and I made system services that were causing the problem. I was able to enble my account no problem after diablling the services
