I just installed XAMPP for windows 7, control panel seems to work, I started MySql and Apache,

when I go to localhost/xampp/index.php, it says:

"Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost Apache/2.4.16 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1p PHP/5.6.11"

So I cant setup a password or anything.

Help please! :/

But in nearly all cases it is not necessary to set a password. XAMPP is shipped with some buildin security which is enough if you use XAMPP as local test or development environment.
