Hi there,

is there anyway to change the default password for pihole app under umbrel? Nothing seems to work and i cant figure out what account is used to login. I just dont like moneyprintergobrrr.

i tried  
“sudo pihole -a -p”  
“sudo passwd admin” “pi” “pihole” “root”

nothing seems to have any effect…

kind regards,

Marco

For what its worth: I changed the docker.compose.yml file and set the ```

# WEBPASSWORD: [mypassword]

It still didn’t work, but after reinstall pi-hole and installing pi-hole again, the password suddenly changed to [mypassword]
