Set password with DRM silent install
Hello, I installed DRM on Linux with the "-i silent" switch, but when I try to set a new password with "sudo drm --update-password" I don't know what I should input as current password. Tried an empty password, but it returns "Database password update failed. Provided Old password is invalid.". How can I set the DRM password if I installed it silently?

Hello,
I want to check these are the directions you are following?
Installing DRM on Linux operating systems: Page 7

Note: NOTE: The Database password option to set and update the password is not supported for silent mode.

If I can't set it during install, how can I set it after install?

Hi, silent mode lets you install DRM without any graphics or user input. This is handy for users who like command-line interfaces or want to install DRM automatically or remotely. But silent mode does not let you change the database password. To do that, you have to open the DRM GUI and go to the settings page.

It is on a remote machine, so I should use ssh with X11 passthrough, but DRM exits with the error Graphical User Interface (GUI) is not supported by the operating system., even if base-x group is installed and I can use other GUI apps such as xterm

I searched to see if I could find a workaround for your needs.
sorry I can't say I found it. Maybe someone in our community can suggest a workaround.
