When you install ColdFusion, you are asked you to pick an "Administrator" password (for security). Enter the password that you picked during the CF installation process.

yes off course the problem is that coldfusion not only ask for a password
he ask me for a login name look at this screen shot

I've never seen that before. What type of options are listed in the "user name" list?

I am trying to install CFServer (single user license) on an XP machine. When I
try to go into the Coldfusion Administrator, a window pops up, saying
"Connecting to 127.0.0.1" then asks for User Name and Password for

Well both links are a little old (and the instructions for W2k not XP) so I
don't know that they could be applied to XP exactly as is. My point is only
that it sounds like you're getting some sort of authentication
challenge/response prompt, so that might be an avenue you should pursue. Maybe
someone more familar with XP can be of help.

1) Is the account you are using an Administrator Account?
2) Did you restart after any changes?
3) Which webserver and MX version are you using?
