Seriously, would someone help out this fellow DIYer? I cannot. Click the link to @fbacher1
 
It's simple. Select the option to add a shortcut to your desktop. Then click the Shortcut!!
 
I know this default password.
Actually you don't need the default password if you're just using Compass GPS to programme/adjust your hearing aids, only if you're using the Compass GPS Console to manage the database.
 
It's an obscure issue. Not everyone encounters this issue. I think I will rewrite the DIY School description.

When you run Widex Compass GPS you will get the following greeting.

Some ppl mistakenly think that you can enter your own password. You cannot enter you own password. You must accept the default password and continue by clicking (Log in); Guess what happens if you enter your own password?

When/if you enter your own password, then you get bright red instructions that say (Unknown credentials. Please try again). Some ppl will get stuck at this point and repeatedly try again, as instructed by the "try again" instructions. You cannot try again! Instead you must Close COMPASS and start over. You need to ignore the "try again" instructions!
 
Sorry, this was my Bad. My previous description was not clear. Maybe the new description will be better.

I rewrote the Widex section of the DIY School Hearing Aids PDF File (01 Free Hearing Aid Fitting Software) to reflect the new instructions as described above.
