I am following a tutorial that had me "install" gitlab via docker on my Virtual Box, VM, osboxes@osboxes. Once the gitlab was "install" completed, I used firefox and entered the static IP address of my osboxes, http://192.168.151.150.

Firefox went straight to a gitlab page requesting username and password (http://192.168.151.150/users/sign_in). I had no idea what to enter, so I entered register. Then an attempt to use what I registered states,

"Your account is pending approval from your GitLab administrator and hence blocked. Please contact your GitLab administrator if you think this is an error."

Any idea what I am supposed to enter as username and password?

This is how I "installed gitlab" sudo docker run --detach
--hostname 192.168.151.150
--publish 192.168.151.150:443:443
--publish 192.168.151.150:80:80
--publish 192.168.151.150:9222:22
--name gitlab
--restart always
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/config:/etc/gitlab
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/logs:/var/log/gitlab
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/data:/var/opt/gitlab
--shm-size 256m
gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

    I'm not sure this is a topical Stack Overflow question; gitlab is a tool used by programmers, yes, but it's using it as a software developer that's unambiguously on-topic here, as opposed to setting up and configuring the server. – Charles Duffy Sep 05 '22 at 20:10
  • Does this answer your question? [Docker Gitlab change forgotten root password](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55747402/docker-gitlab-change-forgotten-root-password) – Arty-chan Sep 07 '22 at 17:42
  • That link is to a forgotten password. So how is that question allowed, but not mine? Lucky for me that I figured out the answer. I had googled with no luck nor hint from anywhere, so I thought to share the answer too and that got rejected too. – Yatzil Sep 08 '22 at 00:40
