Windows Action Center - what ID and password? How to set?

I just learned about the Windows Action Center, and I'm interested because of the feature to clone a VM. Clearly intended for IT professionals, but what the hey. I'm just Joe SixPack end-user.

So I downloaded it OK,and installed but, but I could not log in, because I couldn't enter a successful combination of userID and password. Any advice would be appreciated. I have no problem with using the registry editor, and I'm OK with PowerShell.

    Given your description, it seems you installed some management or VM cloning tool that prompts for credentials. If you're unable to log in due to incorrect userID/password.
