IIRC, when you first install it, you register a new account and this
account #1 becomes the 'webmaster' account with master privileges. I

if you're not getting email notifications, its possible you don't have
email delivery setup correctly on this machine?

http://astronomy.santa-cruz.ca.us/ and http://troop604.org/
