How about:
"INSTALL NOTE: If you are setting up the system for the first time simply enter in a username and email address. After pressing "submit" your new temporary password will be displayed to you in the web browser. This is also helpful if you are installing Drupal on a system which cannot generate email. This is a one-time feature when creating "user 1" - the "master admin" account.
or something like that.

Feel free to write a snippet. I'll incorporate it in the code for you.
