Recommended action: Set OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD to a strong password (8+ chars incl. upper, lower, digit, special) in the container env; alternatively disable the demo config/security plugin for local-only tests (DISABLE_INSTALL_DEMO_CONFIG / DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN).
Option: Provide a strong initial admin password [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. docker run -e OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD='<Strong#Pass123>' -e discovery.type=single-node opensearchproject/opensearch
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
