Unable to open the database, err: timeout

after running the command with the latest version of Portainer i get this error:
Unable to open the database, err: timeout

I was having the same issue, then I realized I forgot to stop the Portainer container. Once I did that and reran the reset password container it worked immediately.

Also having this issue even with the container being stopped

docker stop portainer

I got that when I try to do the command : docker run --rm -v /mydockerfolder:/data portainer/helper-reset-password

Any idea ? I indeed tried docker stop portainer command it gave me : 'portainer'

Then I try 'docker start portainer' and it gives me : Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint portainer (222524611a7e68f9826958beb6e56935f3daeea3b8c3dba19e810c2ada96865f): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:8000: bind: address already in use Error: failed to start containers: portainer

Any idea ?
I don't know if it somehow the same issue. To me it looks the same ! ^^'
