Our WordPress guide has instructions here on how you can retrieve your generated password. You'll need to log into your Compute Instance as the root user through Lish. Afterwards, you can retrieve your admin password by running the command: cat /root/.linode_credentials.txt. The password field should look something like this: wp_admin_pass:. Once you've obtained your password, and have successfully logged into WordPress, you can update your password and then remove that file.
It is completely optional to change your admin password, and if you'd like to move forward with that, you can refer to this guide below:
