Hello, I am trying to execute a similar command but it asks me for a password.

In which file should it be supplied?

```auto

  File "/usr/local/bin/trytond-console", line 22, in <module>
    console.run(options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/trytond/console.py", line 45, in run
    with Transaction().start(db_name, 0, readonly=True):

You need to supply the password as described in [trytond configuration](https://docs.tryton.org/projects/server/en/latest/topics/configuration.html#topics-configuration).

You can either create a configuration file which supplies the password, or you can pass it through an environment variable, ex. TRYTOND\_DATABASE\_\_URI.

The simplest is probably to use the config file, with `trytond-console -c trytond.conf -d databasename`.
