OpenStack DevStack All-in-One Development Deployment (Horizon Dashboard) — Default Password

Default username and password for the OpenStack DevStack All-in-One Development Deployment (Horizon Dashboard): admin / admin. Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.

OpenStack DevStack is the official all-in-one development and test deployment for OpenStack, commonly installed on cloud VMs or bare metal for evaluation. The Horizon web dashboard and all OpenStack API services default to admin/admin (admin user, 'admin' password, 'admin' project). The local.conf DevStack configuration file can override this, but the out-of-the-box install uses admin/admin. DevStack deployments inadvertently exposed to the internet with these default credentials are a frequent finding. Not intended for production use.
