Installing the WEC Starter Package
Configuration
Completing the 1-2-3 Installer will yield a functional TYPO3 site, but there are still a few critical steps to get the website truly running.
Also, the initial usernames and passwords are the same for every installation. Passwords need to be changed as soon as possible. If you wait, your system will be open to certain security risks. You will need to change the:
TYPO3 Install Tool password
(You will probably need the TYPO3 Install Tool to make future configuration changes. So, it is important to keep it enabled and to secure it with a different and difficult-to-guess password.)TYPO3 Backend Admin User password
To begin configuring, login to the TYPO3 backend. The TYPO3 backend is used to create and maintain your website. A link to the “backend login” is provided in the final step of the 1-2-3 Install Tool. Follow this link, or append /typo3/ to the end of your root web address. For example, http://mychurch.org/typo3/ where “mychurch.org” is the root web address of your website.
This will load the TYPO3 backend login screen. Enter the default username and password for a new installation.
Username: admin
Password: password
Once the login has completed, a large yellow box will displays on the main TYPO3 backend page, notifying you of critical information.
The 
Important Notice! box displays two warnings of security risks in the default install.
The backend login is still set to the default values of “admin” and “password.”
The Install Tool password is still set to the default value of “joh316.”
You need to change these passwords to protect the server and website from an unauthorized person logging in using the TYPO3 default passwords.
Additionally, you should reset the TYPO3 encryption key. This key is used internally by TYPO3 when rendering pages from content in the database. Leaving it unset could allow a malicious hacker to overwhelm your site with requests for data, causing the server to crash.
