ProxMOX Version 8.2-1 Free
Clean Install

This is doing my head in. I am an trying proxmox VE for the 1st time. I have installed it 4 times and after the install is complete can not log in with the credential I created during install. I can't log into the browser interface or the local console. I use the default install options and create the login.

What am I doing wrong? I try using "Linux PAM standard authentication" and "Proxmox VE authentication server" and neither accept my login.
  • Should I expect to receive a code or key or validation email before I can log in for the 1st time to validate the address?
  • Its not caps lock otherwise the email address would show this.
  • Its not the keyb', if I type the password into the email address field no chars are upper case or substituted (example @ for ")
  • I have also redownloaded the ISO and written to a USB key using Rufus
  • I have resorted to blowing away the array in case the installer only rewrites certain bits when I begin a new install over the top of the prior one.
Someone please put me out of my misery
