Hello Primero Community,

What’s the default password for primero development setup , I tried `primero` /`primer0!` but it didn’t work.

I was able to manage the primero dev setup but password is not working for me.

Hi Jins, could you have a look at this? [Problem with a preseeded admin account credentials · Issue #145 · primeroIMS/primero · GitHub](https://github.com/primeroIMS/primero/issues/145)

Dear @childprotectioninnov Thanks Actually i tried the latest version [Release v2.5.3 - 31 November 2022 · primeroIMS/primero · GitHub](https://github.com/primeroIMS/primero/releases/tag/v2.5.3) and still have this issue.

I tried `mkinstall` for my mac which should have installed SSL certificate for my localhost i guess. Did i miss anything?

Maybe try adding it in ruby?

Find an Agency and role. This example uses UNICEF

```auto
unicef = Agency.find_by(agency_code: 'UNICEF')
role = Role.find_by_name('Superuser')

```

Then add the superuser

```auto
User.create_or_update!({
	'user_name' => 'some_user_name',
	'password' => 'some_password',
	'password_confirmation' => 'some_password',
	'full_name' => 'My Name',
	'email' => 'me@myemail.com',
	'disabled' => 'false',
	'agency_id' => Agency.find_by(unique_id: 'UNICEF').id,
	'role_id' => Role.find_by_name('Superuser').id,
	'user_groups' => UserGroup.all,
	'locale' => Primero::Application::LOCALE_ENGLISH
	})

```

Thank you so much @irlawrence & @childprotectioninnov , I’m now able to sort this out. Noting this down incase if it helps for future users.

Because of three columns missing in system\_settings table my command `rails db:seed` didn’t run correctly and hence no users were created which i didn’t notice till you give me a hint to create the users.

I created these columns manually, thanks for the hint in this post [here](https://primero.supporthub.dev/forum/t/self-hosting-primero-v2-issue-with-primero-application-container/608/3)

After that i re-ran `rails db:seed` & were able to use primero/primer0! credentials itself
