The instance opens in a new tab of your default browser.

16. Use the admin username and the setup password to sign in to the instance for the first time, and change the default password.

By default, a password must be at least eight characters and contain characters from three of the following four categories: English uppercase characters (A through Z), English lowercase characters (a through z), numerals (0 through 9), and special characters (such as !, $, #, and %). For details, see Preparing an Instance: System-Wide Security Policy.

The home page of the Acumatica ERP instance opens.

17. To verify that the demo data has been inserted, open the Employees (EP203000) form, and make sure that there are six employees (Michael Andrews, Maxwell Baker, Layla Beauvoir, Joseph Becher, Martin Bernia, and Todd Bloom). These employees do not come in the out-of-the-box tenant; they have appeared in the instance because you directed the wizard to insert the demo data.
