I've tried the Try it! instructions and the username/password of admin/admin do not seem to work. <pre-apology>I've really tried to make sure this is not a dumb mistake on my part but I'm still suspicious I simply need more coffee.</pre-apology>

man, admin's username + password are pretty much hardcoded into docker image, and they are admin / admin :)

Maybe there some errors in console when you start docker compose ?
