I will install apm-server with docker compose , it works fine, but when I want to change password for admin user, it doesn't work . Can you tell me how to change the password ? [docker-compose](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) ---

As already mentioned by my colleague in the apm-server repo, the `docker-compose.yml` file in the repository is only meant for development and testing, and changing the password is not supported with this testing setup. This is not intended for any production usage! See [apm-server with docker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/running-on-docker.html) on how to get started with an apm-server binary in docker. ---
