+- Password reset via `--reset-password` (or `MESHCHAT_RESET_PASSWORD=true`) clears the stored bcrypt hash so a new password can be set through the web UI

This is also very well tested, but I still would not recommend exposing MeshChatX to the internet.

+## Reset Password

+If you forget the web UI password and have SSH access to the Pi, reset it with the `--reset-password` flag:

+```bash

+meshchatx --reset-password --headless --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

+```

+Or set the environment variable:

+```bash

+MESHCHAT_RESET_PASSWORD=true meshchatx --headless --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

+```

+This clears the stored password hash on startup. Open the web UI and you will see the Initial Setup screen where you can set a new password. After resetting, you can stop the app and restart without the flag.

## Notes

- Reticulum configuration and identity data are stored in the service user's home
