Hi everyone! I’m trying to start rasa-x in docker form image. I need to use postgresql as db. My docekr-compose.yml is

```auto
version: "3.4"

services:
  rasa:

    image: rasa/rasa-x:1.0.1
    ports:
      - "5005:5005"
      - "5002:5002"

    volumes:
      - ./:/app

  action_server:
    image: rasa/rasa-sdk:2.8.5
    volumes:
      - ./actions:/app/actions
    ports:
      - "5055:5055"
    command: start --actions actions

  db:
    image: postgres:latest
    volumes:
      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: "rasa"
      POSTGRES_USER: "rasa"
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "rasa"
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"

```

When I’m running

> docker-compose up

I see this

```auto
db_1 | 2022-05-08 11:45:51.936 UTC [38] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "admin"
db_1 | 2022-05-08 11:45:51.936 UTC [38] DETAIL: Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 100: "host all all all scram-sha-256"
rasa_1 | ERROR:rasax.server:(psycopg2.OperationalError) FATAL: password authentication failed for user "admin"

```

I’ve tried to run

> python3 rasa\_x\_commands.py create --update admin system\_user admin

and

> python rasa\_x\_commands.py create --update admin me admin

But it doens’t work. And returned this to me

> ERROR: **main** :Failed to create user. I already have admin user in my db

```auto
rasa=> \du
                                   List of roles
 Role name | Attributes | Member of 
-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
 admin | | {}
 rasa | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {}

```

What should I do to fix it? May I change or hard code admin’s password?
