Hello,

It seems like admin user password cannot be changed on PMM Server version 2.26.0 (container image version).

It still looks like the password would be changed:

```auto
podman exec -t pmm-ncas bash -c 'ln -s /srv/grafana /usr/share/grafana/data; grafana-cli --homepath /usr/share/grafana admin reset-admin-password xyz'

    "stdout": "\u001b[32mINFO\u001b[0m[02-14|07:25:47] Connecting to DB \u001b[32mlogger\u001b[0m=sqlstore \u001b[32mdbtype\u001b[0m=sqlite3\r\n\u001b[32mINFO\u001b[0m[02-14|07:25:47] Starting DB migrations \u001b[32mlogger\u001b[0m=migrator\r\n\u001b[32mINFO\u001b[0m[02-14|07:25:47] migrations completed \u001b[32mlogger\u001b[0m=migrator \u001b[32mperformed\u001b[0m=0 \u001b[32mskipped\u001b[0m=279 \u001b[32mduration\u001b[0m=642.75µs\r\n\r\nAdmin password changed successfully \u001b[32m✔\u001b[0m",

Hi @katajistok,  
Can you try command from our blog:

We have a small bug with password changing in 2.26.0 and it’ll be fixed in 2.27.0.
