	QuantaStor ships with a built-in setup launcher, the '''Getting Started / Configuration Guide''', that presents twelve configuration workflows and, within each one, the ordered steps that build a working configuration. This page explains what each workflow achieves and in what order, and links every step to the Administrator Guide page that documents the dialog behind it. It does not repeat those procedures.

This page explains what each workflow achieves and in what order, and links every step to the Administrator Guide page that documents the dialog behind it. It does not repeat those procedures.

Qadmin: rewrite around the Getting Started / Configuration Guide dialog: all 12 workflows in their four groups, every step linked to the Admin Guide page that owns it, entry points and auto-open condition, edition/visibility gating; drop the duplicated Admin Guide contents list and its Template: links (QSTOR-12352)

	The default administrator user name for your storage system is simply 'admin'. This user account is present on all QuantaStor systems. At the login dialog the admin user account name is pre-populated as this is the most commonly used login. If QuantaStor was installed for you by a CSP or VAR the password for the system(s) should have been emailed to you or made available via the CSPs server management panel. If you've installed QuantaStor on a new server or VM the 'admin' account defaults to having a password of 'password' (without the single quotes).
