Hi, I hope this is the right forum to post this.  I am brand new to DNN and a little unsure of the paradigm still.  I finally got my install working (using IIS 5.1 and SQL Server 2005, running locally on an XP machine)  or so I thought, but on my home page, when I try to login with either host or admin accounts, it tells me I used a bad password.  I'm using host / dnnhost and admin / dnnadmin just like it says on my home page.

Where should I look to fix this?

When you installed DNN did you go through the install wizard? If you did is host/dnnhost what you used as the host username/password?

That was it, I forgot I had overriden the default password, I was confused by the fact that it showed host / DNNhost on the home page.  I've got a lot to learn with DNN!  Thanks though.  When I'm logged in as Host can I change the user account from there?

For the Host Account just click on the username beside where it says Logout (if you're using the default skin) and you can change the password there. For any other accounts look under Admin->User Accounts.
