I assigned numbers to all measures, but it did not start at the first 3 measures. Any reason why?

Either the measure region is not set up correctly or those measures have the "include in measure numbering" attribute unchecked.

It's a common notation practice to hide the first measure number in a piece. You can override that by going into the measure number region and unchecking "hide first measure number in region".
