Hi, I just downloaded opnsense amd64 serial and flashed it on a usb pen drive.
I booted and alix and logged in 192.168.1.1 ad root opnsense.
I followed the wizard.
I changes the lan and wan ip address and the admin password.
I opned the web interface from the lan ip but I can't login with user 'admin' and my new password.
I repeated this two times.
Any idea?

I also tried installed it on the hard drive (user installer and password opnsense).
After the first boot and wizzard, I have the same problem: can't login with admin, Amin, root.

It could be your keyboard layout that's the problem, is it a standard English layout or another language and did you change it at installation time? I'd suggest you try to install and don't change the password and you should be able to login to the web UI with the default settings, see if that works.

I don't think it's a keyboard layout problem.
When i ran the wizzard form live, I type the password in my browser, so there's no possibility to have the wrong key.
Nonetheless, to be even more suer, the second time I run the wizzard, I typed the password on my text editor, then copy/pasted it.
When I run the installer, I selected my keyboard layout (it).
So it should be fine.
The password I inserted was pretty simple: no symbols, number, upper case.
-
Why don't you try my suggestion about installing without changing the password and see if you can login to the Web UI with the default credentials, it works for everyone else.
-
I did it.
leaving the default password works.
Btw, it's a bit confusing when the wizzard asks about Admin password.
Honestly I confued it as the name to use log in (I also tried with root tough).

An 'Admin' account can be any users on the system but is initially just the root account until you add further admin accounts. Anyway, I'm glad you've got into the system. :)
