Simple, I'm sure

[3.14159265359]

I'm doing a computer build and needed a program to work with.
I'm getting the case ready for both internal and external SSDs and have an old ASUS P%QPL-AM MB -- Only 4 GB of RAM, 8 is $150.00.
I loaded TrueNAS 13.0-U5.3 onto an SSD and hardwired to my network using an ethernet cable.
Gave the program a static address, Brought up the logon menu on Google, and used root -- ABCD1234 for the initial logon.
The username or password is wrong. I had turned off my FreeNAS server in advance so it wouldn't be a conflict problem (used different IP addresses.)
The setup won't let me in for the initial settings. I even tried my Freenas logon user/pass...Didn't work.
I got the root/abcd1234 from the PDF, but nogo (I also tried root/ABCD1234, still nogo. What mindlessly simple thing did I forget to do?
Thanks

Huh? Do you mean that you browsed to the web UI using Chrome?

root -- ABCD1234 for the initial logon.

Did you set ABCD1234 as the root password when you installed it? If not, you shouldn't have expected that password to work.

I got the root/abcd1234 from the PDF

What PDF? And surely you're aware that abcd1234 and ABCD1234 are different passwords.
