-Where did you purchase your iMac...at an Apple Store?
-What ID did they advise you to enter? An Apple ID, or a user account that they helped you setup?
Yes, I purchased it at an Apple Store. They advised using an Apple ID but in my haste I put in the password. Actually, for convenience I want to use something more simple.
I hope I'm not posting this twice but my reply is not appearing here. I purchased my Mac at an Apple store. They advised me to use my Apple ID but in my haste I entered my password.

You should be able to change the user password on the iMac via the Users & Groups preference pane. If you click on Change Password... for your user, I believe you can turn off the Use iCloud Password and simply change it.
