According to the website of [http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Securing\_OpenEMR](http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Securing_OpenEMR) I have to copy and paste this into the web browser [http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php](http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php) but when I did that it says error. The page would look like below. * * * Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated.

I put in the correct number and it shows the same result as the image below. Another solution is use “sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security”. I don’t know where I can find this. Is this Linux? I have Windows. Any other solutions? Thank you ---

I think the older version of openemr that you have to type in your username and password.
