By default, your server will start out with a placeholder admin password. It is highly recommended you change it as soon as possible.

How to change the Server Admin Password

To set the password, access your servers control panel
Find the "Change Admin Password" button, pictured with a Lock on the left-hand side of your panel.
When prompted, type your new password and click "Run".
Once the script is finished, you should be all set and ready to go with your new password!
