Plex says the stolen data includes email addresses, usernames, securely hashed passwords, and authentication data.
"An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases," reads the Plex data breach notification.

I reset my pw and now can’t get the server to work on my firestick. I suck at tech

You need to relink your account. Go to plex.tv/link Your firestick Plex app should present you with a 4 digit code.
