Are you sure there are no other instances of Syncthing running at the same time? Alternatively, have you by any chance installed Syncthing previously and set a username and password then? Nevertheless, if you simply want to reset Syncthing to the initial configuration, I’d advise to follow the steps as described in [https://forum.syncthing.net/t/name-and-password/19641](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/name-and-password/19641).
