<p>I have successfully configured a Kubernetes cluster using <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kops" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kops</a>.</p>

<p>However, I cannot find where to change the auto-generated admin password - how can I do this?</p>

<p>At the moment there is no easy way to do that since there is no way via the Kops API to create a secret of type "Secret" (quite confusing I know). The only workaround is to change the credentials, in this case your password directly on your s3 configuration as explained here: </p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/docs/secrets.md#workaround-for-changing-secrets-with-type-secret" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/docs/secrets.md#workaround-for-changing-secrets-with-type-secret</a></p>

<p>and force a rolling-update of your cluster by changing its configuration (I just updated to the new version of k8s for example) or simply run <code>kops rolling-update cluster --yes --force</code></p>

<p>Apparently this will be addressed soon by one of the future releases.</p>
