You may sign in using any WikiWord as a UserId.
You do not need to enter a password.

Make sure your username is a WikiWord, lvepstas won't work, LinasVepstas will.

You are signed in as ?LinasVepstas |

No space and make sure the userid starts with a capital and contains another 
capital. Linas (or Neil) won't work.

Go back to the main Gnome Support page for the tip.

Now that it's clear though, it ought to be in the GnuCash Wiki front page too.

The password (IIRC) is just to make it a little harder for other to pretend to 
be you. (like I just did above).
