📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

The installed copy of filebrowser resets the admin password to the one specified in the config without notification.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

2. Change password via the WebUI
3. Reboot
4. Password has been changed back to helper-scripts.com

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

This can be resolved by editing /usr/local/community-scripts/fq-config.yaml, however I believe this isn't made clear enough during setup that you MUST change the password via this file and NOT via the webui. I didn't realize, and I had my instance exposed to the open internet with the default password for some period.

1. Then, in my opinion, it's a software error. The frontend should overwrite the yaml. => Report it to their repo

2. The config file is visible on the website; it's not a script error per se, but at most a configuration adjustment, but we assume that every tool that has a config and a database changes this independently.
