i couldnt find though what i should add exactly to the configuration file to set up the password.

Configuration file should be located at /etc/redis/redis.conf and password can be set up in SECURITY section which should be located between REPLICATION and LIMITS section. Password setup is done using the requirepass directive. For more information try to look at AUTH command description.
