Docker: incorrect username or password

I’m reacquainting myself with Docker. My first steps were dodgy. I immediately ran into problems testing if Docker was installed correctly on my Windows 10 machine, when I wanted to execute the hello-world image.

docker run hello-world

Which threw the following error.

Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/hello-world/manifests/latest: unauthorized: incorrect username or password.
See 'docker run --help'.

It turned out the problem was that I was a little to eager when I signed into the Docker Hub in the Docker Settings.

After logging out with the following command it worked.

docker logout

Go figure…
