2 important questions needing attention

The first problem I’m having is actually signing into the forums. I tried to sign into the member support forums using my username and password I use when logging into wordpress control panel. The S2 member log in is what comes up now that I have purchased the s2 member plug-in. Anyways when I try to log into the forum my username and password does not work on here. I thought that maybe I have to register a new username and password but all I see is the general public sign up form which I did to get here. Why doesn’t my username and password work on here?

The second question is about the plug-in itself. I’m pretty confused. I created a log-in welcome page and membership options page as instructed to do in the tutorials. I also created an additional test page which I assigned “0” for free access.

I then logged out and went to my website and clicked on the new page acting as if I was a random person logging on. I thought it was supposed to bring me to a members sign-in box or something but it didn’t. It just showed the page I created. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I tried watching the video tutorials but I can’t find anything that helps with this at all. How do I get a customer to log onto the site and become a member and how do I make the page only accessible through the membership site? Again I’ve clicked on everything in the dashboard that should be clicked, as far as I know, and it should be working but I must be missing something. Please help!!!
