Home Assistant Home Assistant OS (HassOS) — Default Password

Default username and password for the Home Assistant Home Assistant OS (HassOS): root / (blank). Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.

The Home Assistant web UI (Lovelace) has no default credentials — an owner account is created during onboarding. However, the underlying Linux OS allows root login on the physical or virtual console with no password, which is documented as a recovery mechanism.
