AppDaemon Password?

I am struggling with AppDaemon in general. I installed using the following: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassbian-scripts/blob/dev/docs/appdaemon.md

When i try to enter the virtual environment i get the following. I try putting in the password i have for homeassistant and it just keeps failing. Wondering if anyone has seen this and knows a workaround?

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for homeassistant:

This is the message you get when you try and use sudo as the homeassistant user That user does not have sudo privileges. Anything that needs sudo privileges should be run as pi user.

allthough there are some good things out there, i think in general its better to follow the original docs.
a script like this takes care of a certain amount of steps that are described in the docs.
taking things step by step in most cases is better because it gives you the opportunity to understand what you are doing.

here you find the original docs
