> so youll need to bypass that, just do the command line, make your account admin, then go to the menu top right, look for ADMIN MENU _if its NOT there, locate the OLD UI button/link and then menu top right and look for admin menu, go to admin area, and look for your user account an manually active your email._

This is what I’m having trouble with. I can go into the admin menu from the dropdown menu in the top right and then go to the page for my account, but I don’t see any option to confirm the email address. It says the email address is unverified, but I don’t see any option to verify it.
