I am installing clickhouse-server and clickhouse-client locally on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I had a previous installation that worked fine, but at some point it was broken. After running officially recommended script from here: https://clickhouse.tech/docs/en/getting-started/install/
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates dirmngr
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv E0C56BD4
echo "deb https://repo.clickhouse.tech/deb/stable/ main/" | sudo tee \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/clickhouse.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y clickhouse-server clickhouse-client
sudo service clickhouse-server start
clickhouse-client
I received the error:
Users config file /etc/clickhouse-server/users.xml already exists, will keep it and extract users info from it.
Poco::Exception. Code: 1000, e.code() = 0, e.displayText() = Exception: Failed to merge config with '/etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/default-password.xml': SAXParseException: Invalid token in '/etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/default-password.xml', line 1 column 13 (version 21.1.2.15 (official build))

There was a prompt to insert a password, but I ignored it and just pressed Enter. What is the best way to fix this issue? Thanks.
