Hey  
I try to activate authentication to log in the editor, I do it in the same way as the doc is explaining that, uncoment the "adminAuth" with username and password in the setting.js file, i get the login windows when I try to log in after that, but I always get a "login failed" message ...

How did you generate the encrypted password to put in settings.js?

Have you uncommented the whole section of the file down to }, ?
