Property 'Password' must be configured - 1000V

Has anybody come across the following error when trying to boot up the 1000V for the first time?

Property 'Password' must be configured for the VM to power on.

I'm not exactly sure how to do that, or configure it.  I've Googled the error message, and surprisingly I didn't find anything on it.  What do I still need to do?  I really thought this build was a slap dunk until I tried to boot it up.

Cheers,

Thanks for taking the time to respond and get more info zXi_Gamer.

Here's what I've come to find out.  It appears I need to configure the Installer App before I boot the 1000V up. Obviously! The first video I watched on setting up the 1000V didn't show this step, as another more in-depth video did show it.  I'm going through that setup now.

I tried to power it on the VM using the command line

#vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on <vm id>

It powered on without any hiccups.
