You will find the password of the administrative user as follows:

$ INSTANZ="yourinstance"
$ sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' 
/etc/koha/sites/$INSTANZ/koha-conf.xml && echo

The result will be some string like

Yes, the database will only be populated after you have gone through the 
steps of the webinstaller.
