I have a site that allows potential users to register.  By default they

is sent out when no approval is required.

Is it the usual practice for the administrator to create a new password
at the time an account is activated?

 I take a different approach on sites where registered users may be valuable.

http://drupal.ls.net/content/anonymous-authenticated-trusted creates a new role "trusted" but lets users register without approval. It has proven moderately safe when spam is suppressed with "mollom" and "ht:bl"

Advuser is also helpful.
