Update defaultCredentials password to Admin123.

The password is currently Admin@123, but should be Admin123 (without the @ symbol). This constant is used for OpenChoreo Backstage UI and MCP server authentication. Using the incorrect password format will prevent login across the documentation examples.

Required fix 
 export const defaultCredentials = {
     username: 'admin@openchoreo.dev',
-    password: 'Admin@123',
+    password: 'Admin123',
 };
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
export const defaultCredentials = {
username: 'admin@openchoreo.dev',
password: 'Admin@123',
};
export const defaultCredentials = {
username: 'admin@openchoreo.dev',
password: 'Admin123',
};
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In `@docs/_constants.mdx` around lines 10 - 13, The defaultCredentials constant
sets the example login password incorrectly; update the password property on
defaultCredentials from 'Admin@123' to 'Admin123' (remove the '@' character) so
the Backstage UI and MCP server examples use the correct credential format;
locate the defaultCredentials object and change the password value accordingly.

The correct password is Admin@123. Check: https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo/blob/main/install/helm/openchoreo-control-plane/values.yaml#L4026

@chathuranga95, you're absolutely right, and I apologize for the incorrect suggestion. I've verified the values.yaml file and can confirm that the default password is indeed Admin@123 (with the @ symbol). The constant in this PR is correct as-is.

Thank you for catching my error and providing the source reference!

Learning: In OpenChoreo, the default Backstage admin credentials are username: `adminopenchoreo.dev` and password: `Admin123` (with @ symbol). These credentials are defined in the openchoreo-control-plane Helm chart values.yaml and used for OpenChoreo Backstage UI login and MCP server authentication.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Learning: In OpenChoreo documentation, Thunder authentication uses `admin/admin` credentials to login to the Thunder developer console and obtain Thunder admin tokens. The `defaultCredentials` constant (adminopenchoreo.dev / Admin123) is used specifically for OpenChoreo Backstage UI login and MCP server authentication, not for Thunder operations.

:::info Two Different IPs
The Control Plane and Data Plane have separate LoadBalancer IPs. nip.io resolves based on the IP embedded in the hostname, so `openchoreo.1-2-3-4.nip.io` resolves to `1.2.3.4`. This means your console and your deployed apps can have completely different IPs, which is actually how you'd set things up in production with separate clusters.
