Why am I getting an 'Invalid password' error when trying to log in as root in a Kubernetes deployment using the RisingWave Helm chart?

I have RisingWave deployed into a 'risingwave' namespace in a Kubernetes cluster using the official Helm chart. I specify the root password in the Helm values file. When I try to log in as root using the specified password, I get an 'Invalid password' error. I have verified that the password in the secret matches the one in the Helm values file. What could be causing this issue and how can I debug it?

The issue might be related to using 'root' as the rootUser in the Helm values file.
Changing the rootUser to a different value, such as 'admin', can resolve the 'Invalid password' error.
It is recommended to avoid using 'root' as the rootUser to prevent authentication issues in the Kubernetes deployment.

Example:

auth:
  rootUser: admin
  rootPassword: <root-password>
