Portainer.io Portainer CE (pre-2.0) — Default Password
Default username and password for the Portainer.io Portainer CE (pre-2.0): admin / portainer. Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.
Portainer CE versions prior to 2.0.0 (released 2020) shipped with admin/portainer as the default credential for the Docker management web UI. Portainer CE 2.0+ no longer has a hardcoded default password — the admin password is set by the first user to access the instance. Old unpatched or containerized deployments using older images may still have admin/portainer.
