It is highly recommended to create a dedicated administration account and delete the default one, or at least modify the default administrator password.

Manually create the initial user

Launch a MongoDB shell to access your database and run the following command to create the initial administrator:

use horizon;
db.security_local_identities.insert({"identifier":"administrator","hash":"$6$8JDCzmb9XDpOwtGQ$7.kRdgIjPYR/AxPbzKsdkBH3ouCgFbqyH9csjcr5qIoIXK/f2L6bQYQRhi9sdQM4eBm8sGUdEkg.TVOQ1MRsA/","name":"Horizon Administrator"});
db.security_principals.insert({"identifier":"administrator","permissions":[{"value":"configuration:*"},{"value":"lifecycle:*"}],"roles":[]});
db.security_identity_providers.insert({"enabled":true,"type":"Local","name":"local","enabledOnUI":true});
