Portainer Credentials

What credentials are used to set up the Portainer image on a Docker deployment?

I’ve tried using the same credentials as my traefik dash but it doesn’t want to let me in

Everytime I have installed it, it asks for a username and password the first time I ran it.
It does not ask for anything in the target settings UI.

@george, @patrick,
Is there a way of resetting the credentials (short of the nuclear option of killing this docker machine and starting a new one)?

You can just unistall/remove portainer and install it again if you forgot the password.

There is a way to recover, but it did not work the last time I had this happen to me becuase Wappler’s installation is really old version.

Fortunately, I found the password written somewhere, so did not have to go with the option to uninstall and re-install portainer.
