I did nothing but more than follow the tutorial here (https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/install-roundcube-webmail-ubuntu-16-04-nginx-mariadb-php7) and I can successfully access to my webmail URL.

However, the issue is that I have no idea what are the admin credentials to login to my Roundcube webmail. It is the first time ever I use Roundcube, after switching from Squirrelmail. I am using a self-managed VPS and I have spent average 3 hours during the setup process.

I have successfully supplied a valid database credentials and 'finished' the installation process by visiting http://ip/install/. Why the quotes? Because I can't login to my Roundcube admin page to administer and add new email addresses.

Therefore, can you please explain to me what I have to do? I have looked around for continuous hours and I don't really know what to do.

PS: In Squirrelmail I used adduser and passwd commands in Shell to create the admin users, but I'm not sure if it's the same for Roundcube or I am wrong? Will they have full admin access? I am not using shared / hosting. I am using a Virtual Private Server

I don't believe you can do this kind of account level admin in Roundcube (unless there is a plugin, or its new functionality). Roundcube will use IMAP to check the password for accounts on the system, so you need to create the IMAP accounts in a way consistent with your mail program.

I note that while it may be possible to have an admin interface that works on some installs, it certainly won't work on all - for example, there is no requirement to have a system account if you are using (for example) Dovecot, and Roundcube could not know how to update the account.
