Mhm, the link in my email was supposed to give you a plain text file...

There was a good point of having "admin password", i.e. it was the user
for the "admin" password, which is in fact administrator.

However I can agree the old way was trying to convey implicitly too much
information. So what about:

"Please choose a password to be used for ntop's administrative web
interface (i.e. for the username "admin")."

?

I agree with all the rest.

Thank you for the reviews!
