 * The installation gave me a username “admin” and password “8*****”
 * The * is for numbers so you don’t see it.
 * It gives me an incorrect password error, and I’ve had this happen on two installations
   now
 * What can I do?

 * ok I solved the problem, the link helped some…I noticed the password as little
   squares, and thought…ahh the wrong unicode….
 * Anyways now I can’t see the server via internet.

 * And that port is not blocked.

   URI fields at Options -> General …
