I very recent change in the installer is forcing the password creation. This is already being fixed, but for now you can remove the password with pihole setpassword and hit Enter twice, to set an empty password.

Thanks, I did it already.
But I also wanted to mention that to avoid the new PW settings after each update.

Cheers

This was already fixed in the most recent update.

Hello there.
I just upgraded to the newest FTL Version (from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3) and I experienced the same behavior.
I removed my password but the update set up again a random password:

[✓] Done.
  [i] Web Interface password: iccRvtSG
  [i] This can be changed using 'pihole setpassword'

  [i] The install log is located at: /etc/pihole/install.log
  [✓] Update complete!

Core version is v6.0.4 (Latest: v6.0.4)
Web version is v6.0.1 (Latest: v6.0.1)
FTL version is v6.0.3 (Latest: v6.0.3)

Should be fixed in the latest release.
Let's see on the next :slight_smile:
