+**Note**: The credentials file (`ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt`) is only created during initial deployment and contains the first admin password. After changing the password, this file becomes outdated but is kept for reference. If you need to regenerate the password and file during a reinstall, re-run the installer with the `--force-admin-password-reset` flag:
+
+```bash
+# Native reinstall example
+sudo ./setup.sh --native --force-admin-password-reset
+
+# Docker reinstall example
+sudo ./setup.sh --docker --force-admin-password-reset
+```
+
+The flag calls `scripts/reset-admin-password.js` in non-interactive mode, writes a fresh random password into `data/ADMIN_CREDENTIALS.txt`, and prints the new credentials at the end of the installer run.
