When I downloaded the program it gave me a temporary password to use. Once I entered that when prompted when trying to run the server I was able to change the password and get it running. Unfortunately I'm not sure what screen that was on but I saw it and wrote it down. After entering my user password a couple of times and it not working I tried the temporary password.
