Walk thru the setup wizard and be sure to write down important information for safe keeping. The setup wizard will guide you thru and setup a log in PW for the admin log in.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
