Quickstart "Get Startted" Tutorial Exercise 2 has a typo for Hue user name and password

BillM. — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:58:31 GMT

I recently downloaded the Quickstart VM 5.4.x (VirtualBox if that makes a difference), and am walking through the Get Started tutuorial, where it reads (emphasis is mine).

"In the QuickStart VM, the administrator password for Hue is 'cloudera' and the password is 'cloudera'".

Should this instead read as follows?

"In the QuickStart VM, the administrator user name for Hue is 'cloudera' and the password is 'cloudera'".

The image below makes it look like the user name is indeed "admin" but it failed, I had to use both user name and password = 'cloudera'.

You are correct - the username and password should both be 'cloudera' in
the QuickStart VM. (It is 'admin' in Cloudera Live clusters hosted on
GoGrid - which is where the screenshot comes from). I'll get that fixed in
the next release.
