Unable to login with default credentials

Hi all,

I wanted to try Camunda and downloaded Camunda Platform Community Edition 7.16.0. Extracted and run the start batch file. Launched localhost:8080 and tried to log in with demo \ demo. I get an error as

Login Failed : Wrong credentials, locked user or missing access rights to application

I also tried:
http://localhost:8080/camunda-welcome/index.html

For this, I get an error as

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).

Any help is much appreciated

The problem here is often to do with the installed version of Java - to run Camunda 7.16.0 you’re best bet is to use Java 15.

If that isnt the issue you can check out the logs to get more information about the error.
