Firstly, the instructions start off with "You need to set a password for

sudo won't be set up for the first user.

Then just move the sudo text before the good password text.

Agreed. The good password text is relevant only when the user chooses to set a root password and not set up sudo for the first user.

Well, the password of a user with sudo rights is quite sensitive too...
