You can change the default password for the dashboard user before starting the node for the first time:

Is there a way to default one when starting? I mean, the default mqtt ClientID and account password

Hi.
There is so far no way to bootstrap builtin database with username passwords.
Marking this as a feature request.

Can you not mount acl.conf?

acl.conf is great for ACL (authorization), but not for authentication.

• Use built-in database authentication when initializing with docker #11068
• Support for User Credentials authentication via Environment Variables for V5 #12496

We do not have plan to support MQTT credentials bootstrapping from environment variables (or a file).
In v5.5, there is a REST API to import users.

And if you call the API to list it first, you can write a bootstrap script to only import once (when list returns empty)

After some discussion in the team, we might be able to provide a bootstrap from file option.

Any idea when this would be implemented? :-)
