If you're trying to log into the local console use the user name and password that you used when you logged into Windoohs for the install, originally.

If you're trying to log in remotely, UI3 or the BI app, look in the console under the "User" tab.

what password did you forget?
if bi is asking for a password when you launch it you have it setup wrong, there are several threads explaining this.
if its showing user as local_console the password is black unless you changed it

console shows local_console
when i try to get in using a different pc, bi wants a user/pass
didnt think i ever made a password

none of this makes sense. what different pc? are you trying to log in via webserver? then change password in the users tab.
post a screenshot. if the promt shows local console leave password blank. then search for the threads explaining what you need to uncheck - that is what caused your issue in the first place

of course it wont. you need to set a user in the user tab

TY for your help

FWIW, read BI's built-in "help" under "Remote Access" ==>>"Users and connections"
