Retrieve the initial admin password

After the automation orchestrator deployment completes, retrieve the auto-generated admin password so you can log in for the first time. If you provided your own password through initialAdminPasswordSecretRef, skip this procedure.

Before you begin

The automation orchestrator deployment is complete.
You did not provide a custom admin password through initialAdminPasswordSecretRef.

Procedure

Retrieve the password with the oc get secret command.
```
$ oc get secret instance-name-initial-admin-password -n namespace -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
```
Replace instance-name with the name you specified in the custom resource (for example, my-orchestrator) and namespace with the deployment namespace.
Log in to the web interface with the username admin and the password you retrieved.

Results

The initial admin password Secret is used only during the first deployment to create the admin user. After the admin user exists, changing or deleting this Secret has no effect. To change the admin password after initial setup, use the application API or the orchestrator-admin reset-password CLI command.
