You seem to have clicked through the default of "anonymous" login, in one of the configuration panels during install process.
This means that credentials to access admin console would not be validated and you will be automatically logged in.
This option in the installer (support for anonymous login) is a new feature in V3, hence you don't see that in earlier versions.
