Comment(by hakre):

 A reason to change the initial password is, because it was unsecurely
 transfered via email. because of that it makes sense to change the
 password. and because of that, the hint to change the default password
 makes sense.

 the security can be increased further by proecting the backend with ssl
 connections for example. but that would be a notice worth for the admin.
