Can not re signin the local n8n

Hi everyone,
I deployed n8n locally using Docker with the following commands:

mkdir -p /home/user/n8n_data
chown -R 1000:1000 /home/user/n8n_data


docker run -d \
  --name n8n \
  --restart always \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  -e N8N_HOST=localhost \
  -e N8N_PORT=5678 \
  -v /home/user/n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
  n8nio/n8n:latest

I was able to reach the screen to create an email account.



1.I entered my email and password, and I made sure to remember the password.



2.I clicked logout.

3.When I tried to log in again with the same email and password (I’m sure it’s correct), it says the password is wrong.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
Do I need to change anything in my docker run command?

Server setup:

windows 11

Docker version 28.3.3, build 980b856
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Latest version on n8n

Just tried exact steps and all worked as expected. Try to cleanup (stop the container, remove the container, remove the data folder (/home/user/n8n_data) and try again.
