Hi Pippo,

by default, there is only the user "root". You should be able to login
via SSH and the web interface with the same credentials. You can always
reset the root password, by booting into fail safe mode [1].

Given the fact that you have serial console access, you should be able
to boot into fail safe mode by pressing f during boot when prompted
"Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode".
