# Local Admin Password

By default, the password is not part of the configuration file, but can be added/modified through updating the launcher configuration. The actual password value should is an SHA256 hash of the actual password.

To change the password, add/modify the adminPassword field under settings with an SHA256 hash of the password. Then push the new configuration to the device. Example below:

```json
"settings" : {
    ...
    "adminPassword": "d4548952d6815a2d07efbddaa6cfdf81d910121ea4ec094e182b02503214bc92"
    ...
}
```

Steps to Update Launcher Config

1. Determine new password.
2. Generate the hash using one of two methods below:
   1. Plug Password into a SHA256 hash generator, ie. <https://academo.org/demos/SHA-256-hash-generator/>
   2. Run on Mac command line `echo -n adpass321 | shasum -a 256 | awk '{ print $1 }'`
3. Update the configuration with the generated value.
4. Once this configuration file is read by the Launcher, this new password will be required to access local admin.
