I'm doing a first ever install of DotNetNuke 3.2.2.  Packaged with the download is the ReadMe file in the Documentation folder.

I track all of the install instructions up to this point:

- enter username/password for the SuperUser and Administrator for the default portal in dotnetnuke.install template file.  These are currently set to host/host and admin/admin respectively

Where, exactly, do I "enter" the user name and password?    Am I looking for a file called "dotnetnuke.install"?  Is this a database user?  Is this the user and password for windows auth when I first browse to localhost/DotNetNuke?

????

Thanks!  Here's a copy of all the instructions:

- .NET Framework 1.1 must be installed ( 1.0 no longer supported )
- unzip package into C:\DotNetNuke
- create Virtual Directory in IIS called DotNetNuke which points to the directory where the DotNetNuke.vbproj file exists
- make sure you have default.aspx specified as a Default Document for your Virtual Directory
- rename release.config -> web.config
- SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 ( MSDE can be acquired from http://www.asp.net/Tools/redir.aspx?path=msde )
  - manually create SQL Server database named "DotNetNuke" ( using Enterprise Manager or your tool of choice )
  - set the connection string in web.config ( ie. <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;" /> )
- enter username/password for the SuperUser and Administrator for the default portal in dotnetnuke.install template file.  These are currently set to host/host and admin/admin respectively
- browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser
- the application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts

Don't worry about those. You can change them after the install. Go ahead and set everything else up. I'd suggest reading thru the install doc provided as part of the documentation package. This is more thorough.
