Problems when setting up CML 2.5

[Mitrixsen]

I've just bought the CML Personal offer and I am trying to set it up. I installed the necessary files and also a hypervisor which I will use to configure and boot up CML. I am using VMware Workstation 17 Player and I have downloaded the 2.5.1 VMware deployment, and Cisco Modeling Labs reference platform ISO files.

Following the installation guide, I configured the necessary parameters for the VM to function, such as Memory, CPU (I also enabled the Intel Virtualization technology in BIOS) and added the correct ISO image and checked "Connect at power on".

However, whenever I try to boot up the CML VM, I get this login prompt

I haven't even gone through the initial setup like other people did and it's asking me for a login and password. What exactly should I do here, please?

Thank you all in advance.

I think you should use https://...your IP  . link and not CLI of CML inside of VM to continue install and setup.
