Rancher v2.0–v2.5 presented admin/admin as the initial administrator credentials on first login, accompanied by a mandatory change prompt. From v2.6 onward, an auto-generated bootstrap password is printed in the container logs. Scripted or unattended installations of older releases frequently left admin/admin unchanged.
