### Describe your issue

Hello,  
The initial login after installation fails with “invalid credentials”.  
I tried these workaround without improvements :

- Launch the script : sudo yunohost app install [https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/planka\_ynh/tree/fix-admin-creation](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/planka_ynh/tree/fix-admin-creation), specified in [Wanderer & Planka - initial login after app installation fails](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/wanderer-planka-initial-login-after-app-installation-fails/40599) but the script is not currently available.
- upgrade planka .env file with these variables :  
DEFAULT\_ADMIN\_EMAIL=demo@demo.demo  
DEFAULT\_ADMIN\_PASSWORD=demo  
DEFAULT\_ADMIN\_NAME=Demo Demo  
DEFAULT\_ADMIN\_USERNAME=demo

No improvements … Thanks in advance for your help.

You can try this:

```auto
yunohost app shell planka
npm run db:create-admin-user

```

Then you will be asked to choose your admin credentials.
