What is the default admin user and password for MediaWiki?

Description:
I installed bitnami-mediawiki-1.35.0-13-r03-osx-x86_64-vm.dmg on my Mac. I was not asked to set a username/password because the installation was simply drag-and-drop.

I want to log into my wiki (on the web page). I found there is already an admin user called User, but I don't know its password. I tried bitnami but it didn't work.

I read here that you can reset the password by running bnconfig. However, I couldn't find bnconfig under /opt/bitnami/mediawiki/ -- is this script not available for Mac (VM)?

Hi @cjwo,

thanks for using Bitnami. Could you check this guide https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/mediawiki/get-started/first-steps/#os-x-vm-228?

I hope that helps you,
Ibone.

Thanks! Following the guide, I found the password by running cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials.

I initially thought the guide was not helpful because it says "The password can be obtained by clicking the Bitnami badge at the bottom right corner of the application welcome page." There is no Bitnami badge but only a MediaWiki badge that links to https://www.mediawiki.org/. However, the later part of the guide is helpful.
