Resetting password - cannot complete the onboarding process ("Name is already in use" in logs)

I stopped docker and deleted both the ‘.storage/auth’ and ‘.storage/auth_provider.homeassistant’ files then restarted docker. While trying to login I’m redirected to the onboarding system. After filling out the fields the logs say:

2019-12-04 15:20:07 ERROR (MainThread) [aiohttp.server] Error handling request

ValueError: Name is already in use

How can I complete the onboarding process and get back into my HA installation.

I’m pretty sure this is a duplicate thread. I could swear this was already discussed.
