When I try to start Designer I get this login screen but it doesn’t recognize the primary account login credentials that I used to get this far. How do I create credentials that Designer recognizes to get into designer?

When you installed Ignition at some point it should have popped you over to your browser and led you through a commissioning phase where you chose a username and password.

It’s not linked to your IA accounts in any way.

I don’t recall that commissioning phase, can it done after the fact?  
If yes, how do I start the commissioning phase again?

Or should I delete the install and start over?
