Here is the log I am getting. Initiating electrs to the full node repeatedly fails. Any tips? All settings for configuration of the node including password are set to default. Thanks.

Is your Bitcoin Core fully synced with all green health checks?

Copy that yes sir. It is accepting incoming peer connections and cranking away.

Go to Services \> electrs \> Config \> Save
That should reset the password it’s attempting to use to authenticate to the Bitcoin Core RPC.

Figured it out. Had to do a similar config/save on Mempool service. After stopping and restarting it. Mempool sync was hung. Thanks.

This worked for me also thank you.
I still have this other issue where I can’t open the page for mempool or datum gateway. It says this site can’t be reached. I actually had this fixed at one point and pages were working I had to ssh into my system again and start the process from scratch because my miners were not connecting…now that everything is connecting and all good I have this problem of site can’t be reached. Any help would be appreciative!

Oh never mind sorry. I figured it out from this forum. Just installed bonjour and it is now working. Thanks !
