I installed the FortiGate VM and im experiencing issues when logging in for the first time. After entering the username=admin and then entering the password. The FortiGate prompt for the password to be changed. It prompts for a new password and then just after entering the password the Prompt doesn't go to Confirm Password it instead skips and prompts for a new password again. The system does not allow me to confirm the password.

Any idea?

First time I see Fortigate FORCES you to change the password, other devices Fortimanager, Fortiweb etc do but Fortigate ... Also VM on AWS makes you change.

What version of the VM image are you using?
