+#### Breaking Change 
+Chart version 2.18.0 and OpenSearch version 2.12 and above require a custom strong password to be provided in order to setup demo admin user. Without this password the cluster would not spin up, unless demo config install is disabled.
+
+The custom admin password can be supplied by adding the environment variable `OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD` in the `value.yml`:
+```
+extraEnvs:
+  - name: OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD
+    value: <strong-password>
+```
