Keycloak 26 ships with a bootstrap admin service account that doesn't have an OIDC password credential. When EnsureAdmin tried to create the admin user, Keycloak returned 409 Conflict and we silently moved on — leaving the admin without a usable credential for Direct Access Grants. On 409, now call resetPassword to set a permanent OIDC credential on the existing user so login works immediately after install. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Breaking Changes
Security Considerations
resetPassworduses the bootstrap admin token (already obtained earlier inEnsureAdmin) to call the Keycloak Admin REST API. The credential reset only runs when a 409 is returned — i.e. the user already exists. No new permissions required.Documentation
