Issue :

Customer is trying to change the password of default ArgoCD admin user but unable to change it.

Steps Taken :

• We tried to change it from ArgoCD Web UI but password remains unchanged.
• Also When we try to change password with CLI, Its not getting changed.

$ argocd account update-password --account admin
*** Enter password of currently logged in user (admin):
*** Enter new password for user admin:
*** Confirm new password for user admin:
Password updated
FATA[0024] rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Invalid username or password

On login with new password its giving error :

FATA[0009] rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Invalid username or password

• Tried with upstream doc [1] but no luck.
  [1] https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq/#i-forgot-the-admin-password-how-do-i-reset-it

• Then we also tried by changing password by updating secret "openshift-gitops-cluster" to change the "admin.password".
  With this password of admin user is getting changed but ArgoCD GUI eventually logs you out after only a short time and with argocd cli we can not perform any actions.

Actual results:

Unable to update the admin user password.

Expected results:

Able to update admin user password without any issues.

Additional Info

Please note customer does not want auto generated password, They wants to set the their desired password.
