i just forwarded/changed my nameservers in godaddy and the client worked fine on my PC. then i installed it in pfsense (on another network i have) and it updated that ip/name as well (sub domain).
you need the 'password' i didnt do anything with a user name.
Current Dynamic DNS Status : Enabled
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR DYNAMIC DNS CLIENT

obviously i added dummy characters to my password, but thats what it will look like.
