The UniFi Controller doesn't have a default password

Long story short, the UniFi Controller when it has been self hosted on Windows, Linux or macOS doesn't have a default password. If you can't get back in, then see if whoever set it up in the first place knows what the password is, otherwise you will have to delete everything, re-adopt the devices and start again.

If you did use the Ubiquiti SSO connection, then you might be able to get back in by going to unifi.ui.com and logging into the server or device that way.

HostiFi Hosting

If you forget the password to your UniFi Controller when using HostiFi servers, no matter - simply log back into app.hostifi.com and reset the temporary credentials. You can then log back in and set up your account.
