I recommend the $5/month deal. Name your instance and then press the big button saying Create instance. Now wait 3 minutes for your VM (Instance) to load up. To know it is loaded up you will see the Wordpress icon blue and not gray. 
Click on the terminal icon to the right of the instance name. After that, a new window will pop-up for the VM terminal. Go back to the Lightsail dashboard and find the IPV4 (EX: 127.0.0.1). My VM's ip is 13.59.157.149. Once copied go to your broswer and paste it in with the following line:
13.59.157.149/wp-admin
You should see the following:

cat bitnami_application_password
Select the output and paste it into the password. Once you logged in you are done! You should see the following once logged in:
