 ## Note
-The Polaris catalog setup script uses the credential `principal:root;realm:default-realm`. This credential is used so users do not need to fetch credentials from Apache Polaris' console output.
+The Polaris in this example is started with realm `default-realm` and root credentials: `root:s3cr3t`.
 
 An example catalog is created in Apache Polaris using the `curl` command. See `create-polaris-catalog.sh` for details.
