When the micro controller device is connected to a power supply via a usb cable, The ESP8266 will start a new WiFi connection called "APConfig XXXXXX". You should be able to find this network from your phone/laptop and connect to it using the password:'password'.
Once the connection has been established you can connect to the device through a browser using the default IP address http://192.168.4.1/
It is recommended to change the password for the WiFi network as soon as possible, there is a separate admin page that allows you to do this. If you navigate the browser to http://192.168.4.1/admin you will be presented with this page
This page allows you to change the password without entering the previous password because you already have to be connected to the WiFi using the existing password.
If you leave the password blank then the device will be configured with an open network.
