New to steem with password challenge

Steemers,
I signed up, my account was verified, I received the link to my steem account, but I was never asked to create a password. I am logged on, I can see my keys under profile, wallet, permissions. and can log on using my post private key, but I can't change my password or update settings. "Missing Owner Authority" I understand I'm screwed if I loose the password - but I don't believe I ever set one up. Can someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks
