Event Store Ltd. EventStoreDB — Default Password
Default username and password for the Event Store Ltd. EventStoreDB: admin / changeit. Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.
EventStoreDB ships with two built-in user accounts, both with the password 'changeit'. The 'admin' account has full cluster-admin rights; the 'ops' account has operational (non-management) rights. Applies to EventStoreDB 20.x through 24.x. The HTTP management UI listens on port 2113; the gRPC/AtomPub API on the same port. Changing the default password is strongly recommended before exposing the node to any network.
