Solved What credentials do I use to log into the management console?

[pnunn]

Hi guys,
I'm sorry for this absolute beginners question, but I'm stumped. I cannot work out what credentials to use to log into the management console.

I have just installed an on prem Debian 3CX for the first time.

I can log into the web console OK, I can log into the root console of the debian box OK, but I cannot for the life of me work out what credentials are expected in the management web console login. I tried admin/my user name/ the management phone number along with the root password, and the phone numbers password but all of these combinations failed (and of course has now locked me out for a time).

What should I be using. I can't find any information anywhere to point me in the direction of this first step.

Thanks, and sorry again.

Peter

If this is a local install from the ISO then it's whatever credentials you entered when you did the install. The wizard would have prompted you along with the extension range, first extension info, etc.

Thanks @cobaltit

OK, I must have been asleep at the wheel. I di get the extension range and the first extension, but I don't recall anything about the management user. I'll blow it away and start again. Can I just blow away the config and run the first run wizard again or is it best to kill the VM and start again?

Thank you so very much @cobaltit. Sorry for being such a noob. I did the setup via the command line this time and things happened that didn't on the web setup for some reason (absolutely user error).

I'm in now. Will start setting things up.

Thanks again.

No worries. Easy enough to start over and we've all been there.
