I just installed SharePoint 2013 on a VM. I need to get into Central Admin but it is asking for a username and password. What is it? Or is there a way I can set it?
Add your self in Administrator group of the machine. Go to IE > Tools > Internet Options >Security Tab >Trusted Sites > sites > Add central Admin site url & uncheck require server verification > Click on Add > Custom Level > Scroll down to the bottom & select Automatic logon with current username and password and click ok.
The default account that has access initially is the account with which you installed Sharepoint. Typically, you create a dedicated install account when doing installation, upgrades, patches, etc. Use this account to log into the central administration site.

I created a web part for Sharepoint 2013 which reads the email address from the user that is currently logged in. I'm deploying locally and the only user I have is the administrator which has also no email address yet.
Where can I add an email address for the administrator?
Where can I create a new user account?
Sorry for these basic questions but I'm pretty new to SP and I couldn't find any solution on the web yet.
Thanks for your help!
This depends on your SharePoint instance (if it is on o365 or on-prem).
In case of o365 it is being managed by Azure AD (you can use the o365 admin center to change the email property) and if this is on-prem instance you have to change user property inside your Windows Server Active Directory.
After you do that make sure you run the full sync on the user profile job.
Needs to be done in the Active Directory. Search for "Active Directory Users and Computers" on your machine.
I set up a GitHub pages project site using my organization's Enterprise account. The page is supposed to be public, but it still requires LDAP authentication. Is there a way to have it be really public?
It sounds like your GitHub Enterprise is running in "Private Mode", from the admin UI:
Private mode only allows users with accounts to access any part of your installation. The sign-up page will be disabled, as will anonymous clones over git://.
To change this an admin user would need to navigate to:
your.enterprise.github.url/setup/settings
And uncheck the "Private Mode" checkbox.
I don't see a way through the website administration pages. If I am wrong, please correct me. Most of the searches I found, include ones on this site, said that TFS doesn't have anything built in to change the password.
I have users set up in their own group in Windows and those users have access to certain projects.
A user forgot his password so I was trying to reset it for him. I didn't find anything on the TFS administration webpages and the only place I know to change it is his user in Windows.
When I right click on the user and click change password, I get this message:
If I do it this way, will it update the TFS info? Is this the proper way to change the user's password in TFS 2013?
TFS doesn't have anything built in to change the password.
Correct. Per the TFS Authentication and Access page, there are no authentication options 'local' to TFS itself. A standard implementation of Basic authentication uses Windows user accounts, so changing their Windows user credentials will work correctly in TFS.
This does not "update" TFS; TFS simply queries the respective authority in workgroup/domain environments, and authentication will be successful as long as the user's Windows credentials are entered correctly.
I have a SharePoint 2013 server for development purposes, that runs on Win 2012. The problem is that after a period of time the anonymous authentication changes by itself.
In IIS, select the server name, than from the right panel under IIS double click Authentication. From the page that opens right click Anonymous Authentication and select Edit from the context menu.
Than will pop-up a credentials selector window.
The correct value should be first option: Specific user (IUSR account) but the option select is the second one: Application pool identity.
If I change it back to Specific user and select IUSR, after a while is back to Application pool identity.
Any ideas how can I investigate what app/software is messing up with my settings?
Have you looked at the IIS event logs or security logs?
How to enable the new oauth permission/install dialog? Any actual url will be helpful.
Apps Dashboard > Edit your App > Settings > Advanced > Migrations section > Enable "Enhanced Auth Dialog"
It may be because you're testing with a Facebook account that isn't logged as a developer or test user of the app. If you're using a Facebook user not associated with your app the old dialogs will still display to you.
Go to the roles section of your app, create a test user, switch to that user and start testing again.
