From the publisher:

"The first time YOU run the server you will not get infected, instead a password change box will come up It is very important that you read the info in this box. But the next time you run it you will so if you are going to give this to someone then it's a good idea to do this first, however, you must include the file: "sstup.eps" this file contains the password, and you must also tell them to copy the files to their hard drive, then run them."
