Cannot login to Drupal site despite having cred from settings.php

Ubuntu 16.04, Drupal 8 managed through ISPConfig 3.1 I'm trying to log in at mysite.com/index.php/user/login and I get bad username or pw. I have copied and pasted from the settings.php file and everything. This is a box that was setup for me by someone else who, when asked for the credentials, directed me to just get them from settings.php The only thing I can think of is that I'm somehow getting a site-login instead? But it's a fresh drupal 8 install with no config. Is there any other source for the password or alternate pw for it?

I've tried going through ISPConfig and changing the db pw there but it just breaks the whole site: “The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.” so I just revert to the snapshot
