You can ssh into a machine running the installer. It's root password 
is either the serial number or 12345678.

Note: the machine's serial number *is not* the license. Do not try to 
use the machine's serial number when Server Settup Assistant

Have you read the OS X Server docs? You need to download them, it's 
not just the single book that ships with the install kit. It's 
covering most of your questions and perhaps your next one too.

Where did you get or or how did you locate your OS X Server 10.4 license?
