A year or so ago I installed Ignition locally, so I could work offline if needed. But, apparently I did not right down the login info, so I found the docs for a command line password reset and restart. Now, I am supposed to commission it, but I have no idea what that means.

Side note: the aforementioned local installation has an IP of 172.30.96.1 (as shown in the designer) for some reason, but when I type in the local IP of 127.0.0.1 I can get to the gateway splash/home screen.

Anyway, how do I commission?

Thanks,

Well, I just refreshed the Gateway page, prompted to create a new user... And, voila!

So that's it!
