Describe the problem/error/question
Running into an error to load resources when accessing the Editor UI login screen with subsquent failure to log in to N8N.
Background:
A workflow ended up hanging due to a missing subworkflow trigger. After stopping the workflow N8N was in a weird state and the workflow couldn’t load anymore throwing the error 503 can’t connect to database.
To solve the issue, I restarted the docker and database. Now I am getting the previous mentioned error.
If I try to login, it takes a long time and will eventually timeout

The database does not show any errors.
I am effectively locked out of accessing all my workflows at this point. How can I get back into N8N Editor?
