Is there anyway I can setup a transfer my coins out without the password now I have the default wallet live?

no, the password is there to prevent exactly this. so unless you either have the password to enter or the seed to recover from scratch, there is nothing you can do.

As per HI-TEC99 comment, I have now located a line of code in the plain text of the wallet file called "seed" starting with kKeQ - this isn't a seed phrase but I was wondering if I could use this somehow to regenerate the password or send the coins?

if you found this:
"keystore": { "seed": "kKeQ.......", "type":
then and in front of seed you are reading a long string of random letters instead of real words, then it is encrypted and there is nothing you can do if you don't have the password.

i say nothing you can do, but there are password recovery tools but if your password was strong and you don't remember anything about it, they won't work.
