I think it is !!!extremely unfortunate!!! that the label selected for the super-user name & pw during installation was "Administrator" which is the same word used for a different preconfigured role. Imagine the confusion a user experiences when they up an Administrator account during the installation, only to discover that this account is NOT assigned to the Administrator ROLE on the "People" page.<br>
<br>
Imagine how difficult to explain the distinction in docs when two different types of accounts have been given the same name.<br>

**Is it too late to change the labeling of the input fields on the "Configure site" installation page to say "Super-User"?**<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree that this is very confusing. I brought up this usability problem at the time at <a href="http://drupal.org/node/480660">http://drupal.org/node/480660</a> (also see <a href="http://drupal.org/node/497500">http://drupal.org/node/497500</a>), but it never came to a full resolution.<br>
<br>It definitely isn't too late to get a fix like the one you're suggesting into Drupal 7. The upcoming code freeze is only for changes that would add major new features and functionality; small usability improvements and changes to the user interface text can go on for quite a bit longer (see <a href="http://buytaert.net/drupal-7-code-freeze-almost-upon-us">http://buytaert.net/drupal-7-code-freeze-almost-upon-us</a>). I suggest that you create a new bug report for this issue, tag it "Usability", and cross-link it from the original issue so people can find it.<br>
