Default login details

On first start for new NEO Z83-4 Pro, there is an Admin user login. What is the password for that?
 
OK. Figured it out. Problem was I couldn't get into windows on first turn-on (or so I thought, as I bought the unit from Amazon a long time ago, and just getting around to installing. Maybe I entered a password some time ago).
Anyway, I found out the following things:
1. must use a standard USB keyboard for exception buttons to work (DEL==bios, F11==startup choice). That is, a USB combo keyboard trackpad does not work (at least for F11).
2. Use Rufus (from the web) to create the UEFI disk, use 32G, format for MBR, use first partition when restarting
3. after OS change or update, allow plenty of time for machine to "burn in" changes before restarting. When it sleeps on its own, seems enough. I've read some have experienced this could take a day. Don't force a restart when it is not operating properly - let it sort it out.

UPDATE: the above steps worked. I am back in. Note, Windows and Microsoft edge wanted to update and I left the machine on at the end for it to complete any housekeeping. Overnight was enough - the machine was still on but in sleep. I logged in and all worked.
