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.

Doug.
