To verify if you already have and admin user configured you should check the local.ini config file in CouchDB.

In macOS for default package it should be located here: ~/Library/Preferences/couchdb2-local.ini

Edit the local.ini and check if there is an [admins] section on it. Add an admin user or replace the existing password

[admins]
admin=<your-new-pass>

Restart couchdb, the pass will be hashed in the file and you can log in with the new admin user.
