There's some small config file (can't remember the name of it -- look for a "new" small file). Just delete that and when you run the game from the beginning, *don't* fast-forward past the intro -- then you can enter your own password if you want or tell the game to not use a password. The problem isn't that you got the game from someone else as others are suggesting. They didn't alter the install disks now did they?? :) The problem occurs because there is sort of a bug where if you FF the intro the first time you play you don't get to the initial password-setting screen.
