For some reason, I managed to clear my browser cache and had to login again. I was thinking that I have used my github account, but I was wrong. A new account was created with an 0 at the end. Now I can’t login again with my original account. Everytime I log out and and press the Login-Button, I am getting automatically logged in, not matter how often I delete my cookies and clear the cache (in chrome), currently writing from Safari, as I could login here. I was hoping I could simply delete this new account, but there’s no delete button in my preferences. Any ideas? /Heiko ---

Hi @HeikoKanzler, to start, go to [ionicframework.com/logout](http://ionicframework.com/logout) to force logout your Ionic session. Then try to log back in under the previous login you used (if you signed up a while ago, it will be under your email not github/etc.) If that doesn’t work we can try another option. Thanks. ---

Yay, that worked! (I would NEVER think about logging out from my Ionic account to get my forum account running again. Thank you!) ---

For me this missed a step. First log out of the forum. Then follow the link to log out of the Ionic session. Log back in there and _then_ log back into the forum. If you don’t log out of the forum first that login persists even after logging in as the correct ‘dashboard’ user.
