There are default-credentals in the code with the password 'D@rj33l1ng' configured here:

First of all, the README could have a warning in the next update that states this fact and reminds people who are running these boxes to check if they have these default credentials enabled, since this password should be declared 'insecure' now.
The long-term solution might be a configuration variable to set all credentials across spots, where this is needed.
For now, the password could be set to a less surprising value like 'boxcutter' and be clearly documented in the README, so poeple are at least aware of this.
Replacing these and adding a bit to the README is a #goodfirstissue :-)
