Regarding the login issue - there is an FAQ in the manual that may
help with this:

How to change Koha default user name and password?

Is your operating system windows?

    * Open  a command prompt and type: cd \mysql\bin
    * Type: mysqladmin -u koha -p password YourNewPasswordHere
    * You will be prompted for the current password which is "koha"


The above action will reset the mysql password.
Open the C:\etc\koha.conf and set the new password in the pass=koha line.

Restart apache to implement the change
