Build Issues with Custom Password Configurations about writehat HOT 2 CLOSED

The admin account is created the first time the containers are launched (it is inserted into the MySQL DB). If you need to change its password after that, you need to either log in with the original password or reset it using manage.py. As for the MongoDB and MySQL passwords, I believe they apply on "first run" as well. That's why it's important that you change all the passwords before starting the containers for the first time. (just like in the readme)

The easiest solution for you might be to run docker-compose down which will delete the containers, sudo rm -rf the mongo and mysql directories, then start over with the passwords you want to use.

I just deleted the entire writehat directory and recloned the repo after doing docker-compose down and it worked just fine. Must have happened when I did the oneliner setup to try the platform out and then tried to rebuild it again with the changes. Thanks! I'd recommend making a note of that somewhere in the install so someone doesn't go down the same path I did.
