2. **Access the Container**:
- Use SSH to access the PostgreSQL Docker container.
```bash
docker exec -it POSTGRES_CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash
```
3. **Open the PostgreSQL Console**:
- Inside the container, open the PostgreSQL console with the `psql` command.
```bash
psql -U postgres
```
4. **Connect to the ActivePieces Database**:
- Connect to the ActivePieces database.
```sql
\c activepieces
```
5. **Create a Secure Password**:
- Use a tool like [bcrypt-generator.com](https://bcrypt-generator.com/) to generate a new secure password, number of rounds is 10.
6. **Update Your Password**:
- Run the following SQL query within the PostgreSQL console, replacing `HASH_PASSWORD` with your new password and `YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS` with your email.
```sql
UPDATE public.user_identity SET password='HASH_PASSWORD' WHERE email='YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS';
```
