Hi,

I would really appreciate if someone could guide how to login to the authoring tool - I tried using the following credentials as noted in the User Guide, but it throws an error. Thanks in advance.

 

ERROR MESSAGE: "Invalid e-mail address or password"

E-mail address: admin

I also had this issue, you need to reset the database to 0 attempts to log in. This could involve using Robomongo to access it. Search the forum. Hopefully you'll be able to solve it without a re-install as I had to.

Thank you very much for this helpful reply Aaron.

 

I just want to add to this amazing reply that sometimes it might not connect right away, and as Thomas explains here you would need to enter further SSH settings.
