Hi, I just installed node-red on docker and need to use username and password to login before go to node-red page

install  
`sudo docker run -d --restart=always -p 1880:1880 -v node_red_data:/data --name node-red nodered/node-red`

create password  
`sudo docker exec -it node-red npx node-red admin hash-pw`

edit \<setting.js\> file  
`vi node_modules/node-red/settings.js`

`adminAuth: { type: "credentials", users: [{ username: "admin", password: "xxxxxxxxxx" permissions: "*" }] }`

restart node-red  
`sudo docker restart node-red`

the settings.js file is located in your `node_red_data` volume.
