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

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:
