Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dbeaver/cloudbeaver/issues/797

Hi, I run CB in a docker container. I forgot the username and password to enter the webUI and I am not sure what I can do about it. I checked through old issues as well as the documentation, but the only info I find is regarding setting username and password manually before the wizard.

I am trying to understand if there is something I am missing, I even checked all the internal files bashing in the container.

If there is a way to reset this info I think it would be great to add a small guide in the docs.

Hi,
you have to delete .cloudbeaver.runtime.conf and

as you already found: to go through the Easy Confiuration;
or create a new server configuration via a command line, e.g. docker run --name <a_name> --rm -ti -p <a_port>:8978 -e CB_SERVER_NAME=<a_server_name> -e CB_SERVER_URL=<a_url> -e CB_ADMIN_NAME=<an_admin_name> -e CB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<an_admin_password> -v C:\var\...:/opt/cloudbeaver/workspace dbeaver/cloudbeaver:...

Do not hesitate to ask any additional questions.

@kseniiaguzeeva I am just writing here because today I've updated CB and once again it stopped accepting my username and password (note that I did login with same credential earlier today, before the update).

I am wondering if there is something wrong happening with the update process (I just pull latest image via docker and recreate the container)
