"WARNING: A DEFAULT ADMINISTRATOR level account is created. The account name and password are administrator / root."

From our lovely manual @ http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/manual.installation.php

Note that I didn't say the manual makes this information easy to find and digest... it needs some work :)

I wonder why we don't just print the same message in the login screen, I'm sure administrators will be more compelled to really change it or disable the account as recommended...

Ideally we shouldn't be creating any default accounts... instead we should just ask the user at install time to create the first administrator account.
