BotBuilder-MicrosoftTeams - unable to get any responses with "hello" after "node app.js"

I'm working with this sample project and I'm totally new at this and have spent 3 days with virtually no documentation provided: https://github.com/OfficeDev/BotBuilder-MicrosoftTeams/tree/master/Node/samples Our company would like to proactively message users in Teams so I thought this would be a good starting point.

Step 1: I ran npm install which installed "botbuilder": "^3.16.0"

Step 2: I did npm install botbuilder-teams --save in both /Node where the package.json is and also in /Node/samples -> I copied over the package.json here since I wasn't sure where exactly that npm module needed to be installed from so again I have Node/package.json and Node/samples/package.json both isntalling the same sets of modules.

Step 3: from cd Node/samples and node app.js From a browser I go to: http://localhost:3978/ and get {"code":"ResourceNotFound","message":"/ does not exist"}

From the emulator, I go to http://localhost:3978/ and type in hello and don't get any responses

I suspect that this is where my issue is: 

// Put your registered bot here, to register bot, go to bot framework
var appName = 'app name';
var appId = 'app id';
var appPassword = 'app password';
var userId = 'user id';
var tenantId = 'tenant id';

where do I get the password, is it the same as the secrets in the azure portal?

I wanna run this locally so NOT deployed on Azure I'm using ngrok as you can see on the terminal pic attached to host the app locally for now.

When you go to https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new and create your bot, there's no where to set the password the legacy UI used to show this from videos I saw on youtube.

Why am I not getting ANY responses?

Thanks in advance!
