Preconfiguring ssh password for server installer

I am trying to install Ubuntu Server on a device on which the available HDMI port broke down, so I can't connect a display whatsoever. I read in the docs (here) that it was possible to connect to the installer over SSH. I managed to boot into the Installer on my device, and found the IP address with the corresponding open ssh port. The problem is, that I don't know the password to use and I can't read it from the screen either as is intended if I understood it correctly. Some online resources suggested it might be ubuntu but that was not the case.

Is there a way to set the key/password beforehand or modify it?

I already found this question about pretty much the same problem, yet it did not contain an answer I can use.
