Hi Srikanth, the default login for the hMC and cockpits are controlled by properties that you can specify in the local.properties. For example, the hMC can be configured using:

 hmc.default.login=admin
 hmc.default.password=nimda

The settings for the HAC are unfortunately not configurable, see https://jira.hybris.com/browse/PLA-13167.

Hi,

you can do it via impex. For example:

 $passwordEncoding=md5
 $defaultPassword=1234
 $setPassword=@password[translator=de.hybris.platform.impex.jalo.translators.ConvertPlaintextToEncodedUserPasswordTranslator][default='$passwordEncoding:$defaultPassword']
 
 INSERT_UPDATE Employee;UID[unique=true];backOfficeLoginDisabled[default='false'];$setPassword;sessionLanguage(isocode)[default='en'];sessionCurrency(isocode)[default='EUR'];groups(uid)[default='admingroup'];
 ;myUser;

Of course you may need separate strategy to make it really secure and not to disclose the passwords in any way. A good starting poin to read would be this document.
