It looks like, for whatever reason, the credentials stored with the default connection do not match what's on your server.

You're best best is to search for ob.cfg (in your app install dir if you're running the app from the installer, or in your server directory, if you're using the stand-alone server) and set your own credentials by updating the username and password lines (and removing the preceding #).

Then, back in the UI, click New to create a new connection and enter your credentials.

I tried that, got "Connection failed to (my_server)". I'm running Windows 10, using the 64-bit exe version, using OpenBazaar-1.1.7 I also have my own XAMPP installation, but I tried with all my servers running, and tried without, still didn't work. Also re-booted my computer after allowing the OpenBazaar ports in my Firewall. Is OpenBazaar using any ports besides 18469, 18466, and 18470? I'm using Server: 127.0.0.1 - I presume this is what they mean by localhost?

If you can't log into your server, you can also use a SQL lite browser to find out what your server's username and password are, and create a new connection using that information.

Look for the username and password fields in the settings table.

When I got "Connection failed to default," I was getting pyasnl not found errors, too, even though pyasnl is installed.
