Thanks.  But just wondering.  What's the reason for it asking me to enter a password when I'm creating the wallet? When is that password used?

When you want to spend the coins or sign a message. The password only protects the private keys, not all information about the wallet. IIRC Multibit HD is the only wallet where everything is encrypted.
