Hello Paul, i just logged with your credentials, now i created a new hash through this [https://bcrypt-generator.com/](https://bcrypt-generator.com/) and paste it inside the settings.js. Thing is now i dont get asked for logging credential at all. Strange again, i'll restart the computer and try if it works

Yes, you have to restart node-RED for it to work.

it only asks for password only for [http://localhost:1880/](http://localhost:1880/) and with the comments on on .js file and not with [http://127.0.0.1:1880/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/) this is getting so frustrating, is there a way to reset it?
i unistalled finally that limitation, the question relies though how i should set a password to either im hitting [http://localhost:1880/](http://localhost:1880/) or [http://127.0.0.1:1880/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/) or whatever public ip from remote computer with admin credentials?
cant type a password here an also this runs within the npm directory

same issue
check if the storage space is full
I deleted the huge home assistant database ( both node-red and home assistant run on docker containers ) and everything went well 👌
