BigIP Next Locally Instance default admin or root password

[sraue]

Hi,

tried to install BigIP Next Instance 20.0.1 locally like (but under proxmox):

https://clouddocs.f5.com/bigip-next/latest/install/next_install_vmware_setup_script.html

the system starts but i cant login the first time via root with the default password or as admin with the admin password.

Is there another first time password then documented?

Installing BigIP Next CM worked (with admin/admin)

Hi @sraue  you don't login to the instance with admin/admin, you can only reset the password with those credentials:

PUT https://next_image_ip:5443/api/v1/me

Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
Content-Type: applications/json

Payload:

{
    "currentPassword": "admin",
    "newPassword": "MYNEWSUPERSECRETPASSWORD"
}

I actually have the same question here.

The linked documentation references being able to deploy the OVA and then run a setup script from the Ubuntu operating system. The documented CLI login of admin/admin does not work and I am unable to move forward with configuration of the instance.

Any advice or update on this thread?

Same question here. Trying admin/admin, admin/default,  root/admin root/password root/default... Still no luck. Anyone found a solution?

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
