a nonsense challenge

This challenge is a nonsense : The source code gives you “admin” as a user name which implies that “admin” is , indeed, the username . But , in reality it is not. This is why I could not solve it quickly . The “admin” is a misleading . There is absolutely NO LOGIC in this challenge . Why mention admin: if admin is not the username? This challenge is not instructive at all

I’m an admin , but “admin” isn’t my username.

It’s just a note that’s been left for an admin that tells you exactly what to use to solve it.

It makes sense what you wrote. However, due to the fact that the format of the username and password should be Username:Password and the note says admin: * ….. and it is a basic challenge, it is very easy to assume that admin is , indeed, the Username. Which is a DISINFORMATION . Otherwise , how is the challenger supposed to to know that admin is NOT the username but a hint left by an admin like rex_mundi?1 By the way I am happy to hear from you again rex_mundi . I have been an active user in this website and took a rest for years . I used to ask you for support to be honest and learned a lot from you . Anyway may be you can tell me how to know that admin is not the username but someone who wants to help you ?! Best regards
