1. Versions: Nakama {3.13.1+2000e4b8}, {Docker Compose}
2. Hello everyone. I’m the new one of Nakama user. My Nakama Server is working. I could connect to the Nakama Console but I couldn’t change default login and password for it.

This is my docker-compose.yml

```auto
...
  nakama:
    image: registry.heroiclabs.com/heroiclabs/nakama:3.13.1
    entrypoint:
      - "/bin/sh"
      - "-ecx"
      - >
          /nakama/nakama migrate up --database.address root@cockroachdb:26257 &&
          /nakama/nakama --config /nakama/data/config.yml  
    restart: "always"
    links:
      - "cockroachdb:db"
    depends_on:
      cockroachdb:
        condition: service_healthy
      prometheus:
        condition: service_started
    volumes:
      - ./data:/nakama/data
...

```

This is my config.yml in data folder

```auto
...
 name: nakama-node-1
data_dir: "./data/"

logger:
    stdout: false
    level: "warn"
    file: "/nakama/data/logfile.log"

console:
    port: 7351
    username: " ********"
    password: " *************"
...

```

“Admin” and “password” still work to entering in Nakama console.  
Can somebody help me with it?

Whaat iffff, I can’t remember the login/password for the console 😬 👉 👈

I can still login to my postgres, but that login doesn’t work for the Console. Can I reset my Console login credentials via `psql`?

@EarthAdam the console username and passwords are set via configuration: [Configuration - Heroic Labs Documentation](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/getting-started/configuration/#console).
