default password

Initial login phrase

A default password is a pre-configured password that comes with a device or system out of the box, intended to be changed by the user: The router's default password was "admin123".

Default passwords are notoriously insecure because they're often publicly documented and identical across all units of a product, making unchanged defaults an easy target for hackers.
