Resetting your admin password - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes how to reset the initial administrator password for Burp Suite DAST, which is set the first time the product is launched. Cloud instances use a Forgot password flow that emails a newly generated password, while self-hosted instances use a resetAdministratorPassword script run from the installation directory, and Kubernetes instances run the same script through kubectl against the bsee-enterprise-server-deployment- pod.
Key Takeaway: The self-hosted and Kubernetes reset paths create an administrator account with the new password if no user named administrator exists, so anyone who can run that script on the host or cluster can mint admin access without logging in to the web interface.
