Did you try logging in with username "admin" and password "password"?

The long "passwords" in settings.js are encrypted not literal password strings.

````auto
` ```
adminAuth: {
    type: "credentials",
    users: [
        {
            username: "admin",
            password: "$2a$08$zZWtXTja0fB1pzD4sHCMyOCMYz2Z6dNbM6tl8sJogENOMcxWV9DN.",
            permissions: "*"
        },
        {
            username: "george",
            password: "$2b$08$wuAqPiKJlVN27eF5qJp.RuQYuy6ZYONW7a/UWYxDTtwKFCdB8F19y",
            permissions: "read"
        }
    ]
}

````

You can generate a new password hash using **node-red admin hash-pw**

```auto
pi@GlassPi:~/.node-red $ node-red admin hash-pw
Password: (type your chosen password here)
$2b$08$/xN7M5RwQjPrya9h59L.4ern/yq4BEktfUz/lTCApu0JmQYkITWZO

```

Paste the generated string into settings.js.
