Locked out of default org
I've set the following config on my default org, and my only user (whom had a password prior), can no longer login.
Is there a way to recover from this?

I wasn't able to find a direct answer, here are some relevant sources:
1. I broke my Zitadel Console Access (1) : A user resolved a similar lockout situation by using the "Update Login Settings" API with a service account to reset login settings with specific parameters including
"allowUsernamePassword": True and other required fields.
2. ZITADEL Default Settings (2) : Documents the login behavior settings that control authentication options, including username/password login, external IdP requirements, and MFA enforcement.

Remove the custom settings from the organization. The default settings of the instance will be triggered afterward. The login policy defines what kind of authentication possibilities the user should have. Generally speaking the behavior of the login and register UI.
