I don’t think it is complaining about your password. It is the ‘–setstr’ is is not recognizing.
I did this a few days ago and if i remember correctly ‘–setstr’ has been removed.
‘–set’ is used both for strings and numbers now.
Try using ‘–set’ instead of ‘–setstr’

Unix Users

Super awesome! But to decrease confusion (since I’ve had others ask me) - can we call this “meshtastic-pygui” (or whatever you prefer) instead of “the gui”. Because we have a number of other GUIs (iOS, android, web) and having a new (great) GUI called “the gui” seems to be asking for future confusion :wink:

i mean the package name is meshtastic-pygui already, but i could see language barrier being a problem.
