RethinkDB — Default Password

Default username and password for the RethinkDB: admin / (blank). Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.

The built-in 'admin' user has no password by default and full global permissions. The web administration UI on port 8080 also requires no credentials and cannot be password-protected — restrict it via the --bind-http startup flag. User authentication was introduced in v2.3.0 but is opt-in.
