NCS 1.1 Can't log in as root

Question

Hi,
I'm preparing to migrate from WCS to NCS.
I've got my licenses and I'm ready to go.
I've downloaded and installed the small distritubtion on my VMware platform.
The image loads up and the web starts, but there seems to be something missing from the setup part of it.
When I go to the web login, I'm meant to log in with the root user.
From the documentation, I see that I should have been prompted for a web user login, as root and that in the install or setup process Im meant to set a root password, however. I'm never prompted for this.
In the docs it says:
Installing NCS ...
*  Cisco Prime Network Control System Setup    *
Enter "^" to return to previous question.
HA Primary Machine
*  High Availability Role Selection        *
Will this server be used as a Secondary for HA? (yes/no)[no]:
*  Web Interface Root Password Selection   *
Enter root password:
Enter root password again:
*  FTP Password Selection                  *
Enter ftp password:
Enter ftp password again:
*  Summary                                     *
Server will not be a Secondary
Root Password is set.
Ftp Password is set.
Apply these settings? (y/n)n
This never shows up on my install.
I've even tried to reset the password manually with the admin user from CLI, but to no avail.
Please help!

a short info on NCS (WAN) I found on CCO (to let you know what you have downloaded...)
form the Quick Start Guide:
"Prime NCS (WAN) provides lifecycle management of Cisco routers and switches, simplifying the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of these devices. Prime NCS (WAN) helps deploy and manage Cisco Borderless Network architectures and services with a focus on WAN and multi-service branch networks. "
the documentation overview:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/network_control_system/1.1/documentation/list/ncs_wan_doclist.html
and the release notes:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/network_control_system/1.1/release/notes/ncs_rn.html
I am not sure, but I asssume that LMS will finally (at the far end) be merged/converted into this product..
