I commented "adminAuth:" in the settings.js file, but authentication remains.  
And otherwise i change login and password but still login failed.  
And i try to reinstall node-red but same problem  
so how to access directly without login to 127.0.0.1:1880

for the first time, I modified the settings.js file under this path / usr / lib / node\_modules / node\_red: **it's false**  
but the **solution is** to modify the settings.js file under the folder /root/.node\_red/

That should generally be the settings.js file under the user who is running Node-RED.  
so for example of a pi. If using the user pi you generally be using the file in /home/pi/.node-red

(the settings.js file gets copied into this directory the first time you run Node-RED)

This is documented here: [https://nodered.org/docs/configuration](https://nodered.org/docs/configuration)

Unless there is a specific reason to run as root it advisable not to.
