9. In the **Store Address** text box, type the store's physical address.

11. In the **Admin Password** text box, type the administrator password.

Alternatively, you can click the ![Random Password icon](https://static.hosting.com/kb/kb-softaculous-randompassword.gif) icon next to the **Admin Password** text box, and Softaculous generates a strong, random password for you.
