Leave the password field for the worker blank and you should be good.

It is very likely your system will not produce shares at the pool's minimum initial default difficulty for several hours if not days depending on how little you have. Until the pool relaxs the difficulty settings needed to connect in, most non multi-rig system will not be able to find a share or stay connected.
