Oops sorry about that ;) The "installer" mode was kinda confusing if you dont read the console output which I missed the first couple times.

For anyone who is still having issues and not super familiar with how to get into installer mode ( like me ) here are some steps that worked for me.
1) load image 18.7 onto usb drive or bootable dvd
2) Once booted into the live image let it continue until you are prompted for a login
3) To get into installer mode type "installer" as the user name without quotes and "opnsense" as the password
4) Once in installer mode choose the "reset password" option which IIRC is option 3 and reboot. You should now be able to log into the gui.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here but this solved my issue which I believe had something to do with OTP which I setup and have not used in awhile. Also make sure to choose a shell for your user in system>access>users if you are wanting to ssh into the firewall. Just thought I would post to help someone because some of the answers here are a little cryptic and probably targeted to people who are more familiar with the install procedure.
