How do you update the password? #159

I've had to reset the password to my bhyve account, and now this integration isn't working. How do I update the credentials?

I have no idea why a number of Home Assistant integrations do not expose this functionality through their UI (frontend). I am guessing it is a low priority and there's an alternative way to do this. However, the alternative way should at least be included in the documentation.

Anyway, to change your password, open using a configuration text editor of your choice, the file: .storage/core.config_entries and locate the "domain": "bhyve", block. You will see there the old password. Change it, save the file, restart your Home Assistant and you should be done.

Please note that if you upgraded from an older version that was using the bhyve: in the configuration.yaml file, remove that before restarting your instance.
