Yeah - I sat there staring at the thing for 5 minutes thinking "shoot, now what do I do....?" It would be helpful if there was more verbage around this.

Since sending mail is not really an option on my WinXP box it seems like this will never work. I try anyway and viola - I get the password presented to me in the browser. I assume this is because the mail failed etc. etc.
Nope, the password is always present in the browser to the first user (User ID == 1, essentially the super user or super admin of a Drupal site). Likewise, user number 1 never gets e-mail during this initial creation. The assumption is that you have just installed your software and are just creating your first user, which needs to happen quickly for security purposes.
The documentation and explanatory text could be improved.
