you cant login on the local console, i think its intended to not do this.

afaik i have used curl to change the password from another machine like:


curl -X PUT https://<insert_ip_here>:5443/api/v1/me \
-H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"currentPassword": "admin", "newPassword": "my_new_password"}'

then you can add the instance to the management system with the new password. the local login is still not working
