March 23, 20188 yr Great start lol whats the password and user name for login tower, just installing, first time at this thanks David
March 23, 20188 yr Community Expert If you mean at the console, it isn't even necessary to go there, and not recommended for beginners. But the user name is 'root' with no password until you set one. You should just go to the webUI to set everything up.
September 22, 20196 yr Why the hell doesn't the documentation say this? I'm booting to GUI mode. You can say that I should go to the web GUI, but following the instructions, instead of getting to the Tower GUI, my browser takes me to Tower Records. I'm new to unRAID, trying it out, and this doesn't exactly give me confidence.

Or do you mean using a browser on another computer on your network?

September 22, 20196 yr I tried to get on using the browser on another computer, and it took me to Tower Records. So now I'm booting to GUI mode on the server. That seems to work (now that I know what username and password to use). But now I've a new problem: when I try to get a trial key, and click on "Start Trial", nothing happens. The button lights up, but the window stays there, and there's no indication that anything is happening.

September 22, 20196 yr Community Expert In fact, I wonder if it is even on a network, since you couldn't reach it from another computer. Is it showing an IP address in the upper right corner of the webUI?
September 22, 20196 yr Turns out I had a bad Ethernet cable (been used on that server for years; no idea why/how it suddenly failed). Replaced that, and now I was able to get a trial key, and I can get to the GUI via a browser. Thanks for your help.

I went through the Getting Started, the official Manual, the new users blog, and don't actually see it specified point-blank anywhere what the default login and password actually is. @SpencerJ

September 25, 20196 yr I have updated the wiki to address this shortcoming. Quite honestly it's surprising that in all the years of operating since we put in the GUI boot mode, this is the first time someone wasn't able to identify the login parameters. Still an oversight on our part though: https://wiki.unraid.net/UnRAID_6/Getting_Started#Connecting_to_the_Unraid_webGui

If you type http://tower or http://tower.local (for Mac users), it should work or at least take you to a "page cannot be displayed" message. If you just typed the word "tower" in your address bar and hit enter, it is likely to cause your browser to think this is just a search term. tower (without a .com or .net) does not resolve to tower records. It can't without a suffix on the domain.
September 25, 20196 yr I should also mention from looking at your other posts, it seems like you have a lot of beginner questions. First and foremost: WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY! As you can probably tell, everyone here is pretty friendly and just wants to help out. One piece of advice though. Check out this youtuber (SpaceInvaderOne): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZDfnUn74N0WeAPvMqTOrtA. He's actually a pretty big member of our community and has created just tons of videos on Unraid. From How-Tos to basic introductions to the system, he's got a plethora of content that will probably help you out a lot.

I've done so, and going through the SpaceInvaderOne videos helped me get everything set up. I appreciate everyone's help here.
