In the version that I have 2.1.0.644 you have update the My.config file. If you have updated a different config file you will need to remove that to avoid any conflicts. Then update the My.config file keys for username and password with what you would like.

ALSO of note depending on if you are using the compiled or the source code versions of hte downloads the My.config file name may need to be updated.

1. Compiled file name: My.config.sample - you will need to drop the ".sample"
2. Source Code file name: My.config - no change to the file name needed.

I have looked at the FunnelWebHQ website and their walk through has no mention of this as the instructions do not seem to be inline with the new version of the application. Yes it is confusing and there have been multiple requests to update the install documentation. Hope this helps.
