I have just done an install of CF 11 three times today and the password that is created during the install does not authenticate. I have read several posts, some of which date back to May 2014. Is there not a hotfix for this issue? Certainly the recommendation for changing a browser is understood as I am using IE, but still what about the hotfix?

Correct answer haxtbh

Try this:

Navigate to the webroot of your site.
Take a backup of web.config and open it with text editor (notepad etc)
Comment the entry for mimeType extension of ".air" like
Save the file and restart IIS.
Launch CF Admin and try to login.

Also try the the passwordreset.bat (C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin) via command prompt (Run as Administrator)

Hi Gerald,

Did you get a chance to look at Troubleshooting ColdFusion Admin Login Issue — Adobe ColdFusion Blog?

I have. I have changed from IE to Chrome, still get Invalid Password. I have added .cfm in IIS as a mime type, still get Invalid Password. I have gone back to IE, added the site as a trusted site, still get Invalid Password. What should I try next?
