Summary of the issue you are facing:
I can’t hide the “Forgot password?” message from the authorization window or replace static text.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-

-

-
In config/config.php added a line lost_password_link => false,
Configuration

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):
