Cheesecake water bath gone wrong

Making cheesecake with a water bath for the first time and didn’t know I was supposed to boil the water first. It’s in the oven baking and just now reading that the bath is supposed to be boiling water. Too late to open the oven and change the water. Will the oven heat it sufficiently or do I need to adjust the cooking temp or time? Recipe from Food and Wine just said hot water and I used tap water, thinking the oven would quickly bring it up to temp.

I think it will be fine. It might take a little longer to bake all the way through.
