I followed the instructions here but wasn't able to log in.

When I added -e PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<my password> to my docker run command line, I was able to log in.

So I believe the default password is either different or not working.

Yes, that's true. You can now change the password in the UI. So there is no static default in the config anymore. Need to update the docs.
