Question


Why is the default administrator password (admin/admin) not working after upgrading to 9.0.4 or later?

Environment


All platforms running 9.0.4 or later

Answer


1. Starting with PAN-OS 9.0.4, you must change the default administrator password (admin/admin) on the first admin account log in on a device.

2. The new password must be a minimum of eight characters and include a minimum of one lowercase and one uppercase character, as well as one number or special character.

3. On a new installation, password complexity is enabled with a minimum password length of eight characters.

NOTE:
This change does not affect other administrative users on upgrades.
