accidental deletion of the one and only admin

The workaround I used was manually changing the admin status of the user: mongo to access command line, then use admin, and db.users.find().pretty() to find the user.

You can update the admin status of this user with db.users.update(); see https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/ for more information.

If someone else has an easier fix, please let me know!

you can update any user manually and give him admin privileges from the database directly
