Description
I downloaded mRemoteNG, tried to launch it but I am prompted for a password in a dialog box. Is there a default password?
When I click "Cancel" on the Password dialog box the error below comes up.
Expected Behavior
Current Behavior
An error pops up saying this:
"The startup connection file could not be loaded.
C:Users"me"\AppData\Roaming\mRemoteNG\confCons.xml
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
In order to prevent data loss, mRemoteNG will now exit."

Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch on Windows 10 with version 1.77.1.27654 and inspect the startup connection file at AppData\Roaming\mRemoteNG\confCons.xml alongside the password dialog. Done means a fresh installation launches without an unexpected password prompt or the null-reference startup error.
