@sandhyarathee, how do you set the ${OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD} do you use .env file?

best,
mj

Yes, I have .env file.

@Mantas Yes I have .env file.

@sandhyarathee, I`ve deployed OS using the same (default) docker-compose.yml with no issues in my lab.

Have you tried running securityadmin?

best,
mj
