why do you Linux guys make life so difficult? I've been trying to log in to WHM

For 2 hours straight, created multiple VMs in Azure, created 1000 user names including this one just to ask a question.

I've noticed Linux is very ambiguous when it comes to commands etc, anyway , how the ef do I log in to WHM? and why do you have 2 names for? fark me.

I'm going mental here. and I've been using cPanel for 10 years, but on shared hosting. Never needed to create my own account.

I've never used Linux commands until today, and I was like WTF!! I got the WHM login page open, but nothing is freaken working.

for example check this laughable line on your website:



Note:

• If you use a password for your administrator account, you can easily log into WHM using your administrator username and password.
  
  

  Launch an Azure Virtual Machine | cPanel & WHM Documentation

  The following document provides the steps to build a production hosting environment on Azure.

  docs.cpanel.net
  
  
  So why aren't those details working? I specifically deleted the first VM, and created a new one just for this reason, and it doesn't accept those credentials.

Hey there! When you log in to WHM you will use the "root" username and the root password. The only exception to this would be a reseller account, but that isn't related to what you're doing here.

Try that, and I would expect the access to work.

That's the one I was using for 2 hours. It worked AFTER I restarted my machine, very weird
