vSphere VSAN Build 14033 default *admin* (root) credentials

Attempting to login to the GUI at port 9090 as an admin user to configure the storage.
I'm unable to find what the default credentials are for the admin user. I see the release note indicating they were changed. It just doesn't indicate what they were changed TO.
root/root doesn't work
root/starwind doesn't work
starwind/starwind doesn't work
Logging in to the VM as "user", sudoing to root, then changing the root password doesn't work.
What are the default admin credentials to access the GUI?
Thanks!

Thanks.
I should have specified in my original post that I tried that.
Unfortunately that is not the admin (root) user, as it cannot change the performance profile, nor the hostname, nor reset other passwords, nor modify networking.
Most importantly, it cannot set up any RAID storage either.
In other words, it's a useless account.
That's why I requested the ADMIN (root) user credentials.
Seems like this is a pretty key piece of information that Starwind has forgotten to include.

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Try checking the checkbox before logging in

Doh!
That works!
I had thought / assumed that box meant "once logged in, keep/remember the password for future privileged tasks".
That's what I get for not trying it anyway.
Thanks again!

Have you checked the documentation? If you cannot find the default credentials in it, you may need to reset the password for the admin user. One way to do this is to log in to the console or command line interface of the virtual machine and change the password for the admin user account. You can then use the new password to log in to the GUI.

Resetting the password is a good idea if you forgot it.
The general Linux password reset recommendations work here.

I can't see these general recommendations here.

By general I mean the subject is within the general administration experience and you can check on it everywhere. Say here
