Obtaining the initial admin password for Argo CD

Option 1: Using the Argo CD CLI

If you have the argocd CLI installed, you can simply run:

argocd admin initial-password -n argocd

Option 2: Using kubectl

Run this command (assuming Argo CD is installed in the argocd namespace):

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

It’s highly recommended to set a new secure password after logging in
