Permissions Password (ONCE AGAIN)

I've scoured countelss threads in this forum and cannot find a solution (even though plenty of thread have notated a "solution", none of which are... that ive found at least)

I am the author of the document. I did not set a permissions password when I dispatched the document for esign. 

Why is there a permissions password if I did not set it?

Is this a default setting within the new Adobe Esign?

Where can I find the permissions password? 

I want to clarify again due to the lack of accurate answers in previous threads. I am the author of this document and I did not set a permissions password. 

Thank you, 

Larry

PS - I posted this on the acrobat forum (since esign is a feature of acrobat, or was anyways) and was asked to post here.  I've attached a 'sample' document that I have esigned myself as requested by a previous Adobe employee within the acrobat forum.
