I just have created a new instance of appwrite and when after running my docker containers I tried to signup for the first time the console registration page is saying Current project have reached max number of users. and the fact is that I jsut created the new instace and trying my first login into the console.

TL;DR
The user encountered an issue where their current project has exceeded the max number of users, even though they just created a new instance. The solution provided is to change the value of `_APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT` to `disabled` in the `.env` file, then reload docker, create the user, and change the value back to `enabled`. The user also has the option to reset the password using the "Reset Password" option with SMTP set. If the issue persists, reinstalling Appwrite is recommended. Additionally, it is mentioned that this issue will not happen in the production environment by default.

If you didn't, I think it's better reinstalling Appwrite

You have few options

One of them is to allow other user signup by changing the value of _APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT to disabled in your .env file. Then you can reload your docker, create the user and change the value of _APP_CONSOLE_WHITELIST_ROOT to enabled again

Check this for more details

Also, You can use the "Reset Password" option which gonna send an email with reset link

You'll need to have SMTP set for this one.

It will not happen in your production environment because by default, once you create an account, not one else will be able to register into the Appwrite console unless you set the corresponding env variables as Binyamin said. This is done to prevent someone else from using your Appwrite instance to create their own apps and use your server resources, also due to security reasons
