+The Admin Dashboard is a tool that allows an administrator or a web application owner to manage the users of their web application. It provides a range of functions that help administrators to create, edit, and delete user accounts stored by AuthCompanion.
 
 On Server startup, the Admin Dashboard is available at the `/admin/` endpoint - `http://localhost:3002/v1/admin/login` (or the port you have configured in your `.env` file).
 
 An admin user can log in to the Admin Dashboard using the credentials that are auto-created when the AuthCompanion server starts up.
 
-You can find the username and password within the application files at the default path described in `.env` file `ADMIN_KEY_PATH=./adminkey`. Only one admin user will be registered in the system at a time.
-
-When you log in, please make sure change the password for the admin user to a secure password by editing the account details for the admin user with email `admin@localhost` in the Admin Dashboard.
+You can find the email and password within the application files at the default path described in `.env` file `ADMIN_KEY_PATH=./adminkey` - it's also printed to terminal on the AuthC sever's first startup. Only one admin user will be registered in the system at this time.
 
-The Admin Dashboard is a Vue.js (vue3) application that is served from the AuthCompanion server. Deployed as is a Single Page Application (SPA), it uses the AuthCompanion [Admin API](/reference/adminapi.md) to manage users.
