Just Installed Appian for the first time on a Windows machine running SQL Serverr but having trouble starting Appian

Greetings to the Community.

I just installed Appian 18.2 on Windows Server 2018 running SQL Server for a non production environment.  This is my first time.  I then try to start Appian by running C:\appian\services\bin>start.bat -p [password] -s all

What I get is the message below.  Does anyone know what I am getting wrong?

Thanks.

    check cookies are deleted or not

    This could be one of the reason for the issue as you are logging in for the first time , try to delete the below lines under the file "<Appian_HOME>/ear/suite.ear/web.war/WEB-INF/web.xml" and then try again with the same credentails
