When you connect to home assistant for the first time the onboarding process is started, where you can create a user and set a password.
If you forgot that password you can reset it: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/locked_out/

Did you also follow the docs?

After dietpi-software has finished and the service starts the first time, please go through the following steps manually:

  • Run htop and wait until the CPU usage of the homeassistant processes goes down to nearly zero.
  • Run systemctl restart home-assistant
  • Run htop and wait until the CPU usage of the homeassistant processes goes down to nearly zero.
  • Open the HA web UI (see “Access to the web interface” tab). It will again install some Python modules on first access, which can again take a little while. Always check htop if you are unsure, which reveals any currently running Python/pip module install process.

this will be automatically displayed on first attempt to open HA web site. HA will ask automatically to create a new user / password. There is nothing preconfigured on first access.
