When you install with DDEV it outputs the username and password into the terminal. It will always be admin/mautic. db is the database password. ---

Hi there, The credentials are stored in the database - if you installed using DDEV this is the only username/password combination that the automated installer uses. Please note both are lower case. You can find a walkthrough on setting up with DDEV for testing here: [Tester | Mautic Community Handbook](https://contribute.mautic.org/contributing-to-mautic/tester#setting-up-a-local-ddev-instance) in case you did not follow that process - the automated install should only take a couple of seconds to do but it does save a lot of time. Logs are in var/logs. As mentioned above, the password in local.php is for the **database user** not for the application itself. If you are just using Mautic for testing purposes you could also load up the doctrine fixtures with the command `ddev exec bin/console d:f:l` - this gives you a bunch of sample data to play with including a couple of users with the same password of ‘mautic’. ---

I am not testing mautic…I thought this is the prefered way to manage mautic, update on ddev and then upload to live server…like I am doing with Drupal… ---

Then sure you can use Mautic that way - but the password will be whatever you set in the setup process if you have run through the installation, if you did not use the built-in automatic installation process. The latest docs on how to install Mautic can be found here: [How to install Mautic — Mautic Documentation 0.1 documentation](https://mautic-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/how_to_install_mautic.html) as we are in the process of updating and replatforming - we do not have it documented for using DDEV in production as currently we only use it for testing Mautic. You can install Mautic either in the [GUI](https://mautic-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/how_to_install_mautic.html#using-the-web-based-installer) or at the [command line](https://mautic-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/how_to_install_mautic.html#installing-with-command-line) which is the step where you set up your admin user - all documented above. Note that we have had some issues over the last releases with updating Mautic using the recommended project approach which we are in the process of resolving. ---

I used this guide here to update mautic > **[Installing with Composer](https://docs.mautic.org/en/setup/how-to-install-mautic/install-and-manage-mautic-with-composer)** > > How to install Mautic with Composer. I ran ddev composer update mautic/core-lib --with-dependencies then `bin/console cache:clear` `bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish` `bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate --no-interaction` `bin/console doctrine:schema:update --no-interaction --force` `bin/console cache:clear` I tried to reset password…but is there a way to do it? WIth Drupal you can use drush to ignore password and log in…is there such a way in mautic… or I need to go to database and change pass there? ---

For those on 5.0 it’s admin:Maut1cR0cks! You can find it in the local.php file
