Stuck on step1 (win10 HA asks for password after install)

Installation
1

Hi
I am trying to install HA

  • win10
  • Python 3.6 / 64bit
  • HA 0.39.2
  • checked the configuration.yaml (default file) and I have the “api_password” section commented out under http tag.

I followed the instructions. Installed Python & HA without errors.
python -m pip install homeassistant
python -m homeassistant --open-ui

The last command brought up the browser with a login screen (ask for password) and I am stuck on it.
I changed the configuration file with a password but does not help. No matter what I type, I can not go forward. Reinstalled pyton and ha again and got to the same place.

  • is there a default password.
  • why is it asking me for password
  • how can I go to the configuration page

I know this’ll seem like a stupid question, but you’re seeing the HASS login in your browser, not a login for your router or some piece of hardware between your browser and HASS?

And you’re on the correct port (8132 default)?

Thanks for the reply…

yes --> HAAS login (the HAAS icon ) + password box + “LOG IN” button. When I press the login button, nothing happens… it does not complain if the password is good or bad

It automatically brought up the browser window… and yes the port is the default of 8123

And this is the output of HAAS after start. I see only one ERROR in “netdisco”

Have you tried disabling discovery in your config? I can’t recall if netdisco is only part of discovery, or if it’s used for all network communication.

Try installing the netdisco dependency.

Sounds like your issue is similar to

You might want to check that you don’t have HA running twice. I sometime forget to kill HA and start HA again and have trouble logging in to either instance.

thank you for the help…
unfortunately did not work out…
I was able to install netdisco (root cause was a missing c++ compiler on my system) and netdisco is running now without errors. However HA behaves the same --> goes to the login page and I can not proceed.

Checked for second instances and rebooted the computer with no effect

Any other ideas?

Also this might sound trivial, but I overlooked it the first couple weeks. HASS is not compatible with Internet Explorer… You must use chrome/firefox/edge or a flavor thereof.

here you go… worked with firefox.
already changed my default browser to firefox .thanks:)
