Unable to access Sophos XGS with serial connection with console cable

I've followed this procediture:

Some considarations:

1. I'm using the micro USB cable that came with the device during its unboxing.

2. I have installed both suggested Windows drivers:

Please advice.

    I've just gained access by deleting the iitems at the device manager and then clicking "find hardware cnanges"

    BUT... now the terminal is not regonizing the admin password (its the same I always use to log in as admin at the webadmin console). Do I have to use another password for at the console terminal? Any advice?

    no, it should be the admin-password

    but keep in mind country-specific keys on the keyboard
