Set env INITIAL_PASSWORD

[diegosouzapw]

Community member @newTomas already identified the fix: set the INITIAL_PASSWORD environment variable. OmniRoute's onboarding flow requires authentication — without INITIAL_PASSWORD, the default password CHANGEME is used. If the login button is unresponsive, try: 1) Set INITIAL_PASSWORD=your_password in your .env file, 2) Restart OmniRoute, 3) Log in with that password. This has been confirmed working (2 👍 on the comment).

How can change the env variable ?
