I can’t no longer acces the mysite.be/admin because I no longer have the password

I have made a new admin token.  
but where do I place it?  
removing the container and remaking it with  
sudo docker run -d --name vaultwarden -e ADMIN\_TOKEN=‘-token-’ -v /vw-data/:/data/ --restart unless-stopped -p 801:80 vaultwarden/server:latest

does not seem to replace the password

please help

for future users:  
cd /vm-data/  
ls  
sudo nano config.json  
replace the token  
stop container  
start container

I found it 🙂
