Mystery of the captcha not appearing... SOLVED

In trying to hack this and disable the captcha, which wasn't too hard:
/application/models/admincp/login.php
disable lines 16-20 (disables Exception for Captcha)

Login didn't work. No errors thrown and login fields cleared out.

So digging further, check out:
/includes/Captcha.php

Now check out line 61:
$font_file = ROOT_PATH . 'uploads/Erik Raude.ttf';

Okay, go to /uploads

THERE IS NO FILE CALLED "Erik Raude.ttf" !!!! So the captcha is blank since there... is no font file to generate a captcha image.

So toss in any old .ttf that you know works.

You'll get 6 numbers in 4 different colors. Pretty easy to read. Hey, you can read the Captcha now.

AND THE LOGIN STILL DOES NOT WORK. Sorry, I'm done with this one.

Well done! I'm giving up as well. Without any docs or tips I've exhausted my limited capanilities.

Many thanks for the tip. I managed to see the captcha by inserting a georia.ttf . Got past the admincp login page and was brought face-to-face with a display of a whole load of options! Still no documentation. What next?
