For some reason, it's either not getting them or not accepting them.
The videos are probably from the era, when the fist time configuration wizard was not yet implemented.
Correct password is that you set during the initial configuration. Only digits are allowed.
So if you used 123456 during the configuration, it is correct.
Doesn't the keyboard go away, when you just touch the screen outside of it or aren't you able to just swipe down the keyboard?
Thank you for the help - you bring up a lot of points.
This is so frustrating - I've tried a couple hundred combinations of things by now.
Swiping away gets rid of the keyboard only sometimes.
I'm sure I've done something wrong -  do you mind if I go through what I did from the start?
The first time, I put in 2 words for 'Full Name' (first letter of each capitalized).
For 'Username' I put in 4 (or maybe 6 - I tried so many things now  Smile ) lowercase letters.
For 'Password' I put in a strong one - lowercase, uppercase, digits, and special chars.
It was only later that I discovered the video showing '123456' for the password (I also had
     tried '111111' and some others, and now I'm just trying 1 identical lowercase word for both 
     'Full Name' and 'Username'  and '123456' but nothing is working.
I'm hitting <CR> (the L-shaped arrow key) after each input, but I'm not sure it is getting any
    of these - when I finally get to see the screen (usually by tapping 'Settings' after pressing the
    unusual key to the left of the space bar (just to the left of the 'comma' key) the cursor is usually
    stuck on 'Username' and sometimes on 'Password' - so maybe the problem has nothing to do with
    any of these things?
The only other thing that I can add is that sometimes, when I hit that odd key just to the left of the
    'comma' (usually when I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to input a Username) the rest of the screen turns
    black with a multi-color horizontal line going across the top (again, it is always in landscape mode).
    That seems like it might be doing something, but alas, nothing happens.
Does any of this make sense to you?
Thanks again for your help.
