if you didnt set any password, you can simply press 'enter'. you will get the console.

You don't set the password during the install - you can set the password as a post install step. As the other poster pointed out - the initial password is blank.

unsupported is only used to get into an SSH session on an ESXi Host.

by default, the username is root and the password is set to be empty / blank

One day I will virtualise myself . . .
