Hi @Cobra16319,

the last time I installed Mattermost it did not create a default admin user at all. Instead the first user to register would gain admin privileges. For this to work you of course need to have registrations enabled, but this in the past was at least the default as well.

Maybe this also solved your questions from [MM up & Running Need Default admin Login](https://forum.mattermost.com/t/mm-up-running-need-default-admin-login/9727/6) and [Matter Most Admin User K8 Deployment](https://forum.mattermost.com/t/matter-most-admin-user-k8-deployment/9736)
