• install exist-db 6.4.1
  • give admin some password
• start it
• open dashboard
• try to login as admin
• fails

via monex or exide login succeeds

Thanks for following up and opening this issue here @eduarddrenth

Can you give us a little more context:

• How did you install exist-db?
• How did you change the admin password?
• Can you see error messages in the browser console or exist.log?

Downloaded exist for Linux, installed locally, changed admin pw during questionaire on first run. Regards Op zo 29 mrt 2026, 16:43 schreef Juri Leino ***@***.***>:

I typically login via eXide as the dashboard login button does not (always?) work
