Avid Link credentials issue?
Avid Link is requesting admin credentials for the express/silent plugin update installation, and none of the username password combinations I provide work.
Can anyone point me to where I am supposed to get these from? Avid Link: 2022.5 Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Installed on 2/1/2022 OS build 22000.675 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.675.0 Edit: Solved.

This should be your computer's user name and password. Your profile says you're on macOS (though you posted to the Windows subforum), so the account from System Preferences > User & Groups (and make sure you check the 'accept' box). Did that not work?

Apologies, I tried making this post a trillion times and was met with PHP errors.
I can confirm this is on a Windows machine I am putting together for a client. Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Installed on 2/1/2022 OS build 22000.675 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.675.0 |

Thanks for clarifying.
You have the Admin Functions pref enabled, and you're using their username and password? "You will be required to enter an administrator password to set install options." [pg9 in the Ref Guide]

Re: Avid Link credentials issue?
There is one user account set up on the machine. The account was created using a Microsoft account on first setup. The computer issues a PIN to log in and out of the user account. As far as we are aware, there has never been a traditional password set on the machine, aside from the 4-digit PIN used to log in.
When the window pops up, it auto fills the user account name (the first 5 letters of the email) but I question whether or not its correct. The user in question is the only account, as such they are also an admin. |

There *has* to be a password on an account to enable use of a Hello PIN. So here likely the Microsoft account password.
