Nutanix AHV: Default Passwords

A question that comes up regularly: “what are the default passwords on my cluster?”
Here is an exhaustive list of passwords for a Nutanix cluster after installation, as well as those for some additional components:
AHV hosts passwords:
- “root” account: nutanix/4u
- “nutanix” account: nutanix/4u
- “admin” account: nutanix/4u
CVMs passwords:
- “admin” account: nutanix/4u
- “nutanix” account: nutanix/4u
Prism Central password:
- “admin” account: Nutanix/4u
- “nutanix” account: nutanix/4u
Nutanix Move password:
- “admin” account: nutanix/4u
Nutanix Files password:
- “nutanix” account: nutanix/4u
IMPORTANT REMINDER
If passwords have never been changed and your infrastructure is in production, it is imperative to change all of these passwords to ensure their security.
