Haven't used this particular install method but the Apt packages I use
don't setup a password but instead allow for localhost connections on a
trust basis - and don't listed on TCP/IP sockets by default either. I
suspect that this installer is similar.

Also, I personally find it to be bad form to link directly to a page that
starts downloading a 120MB software executable when you navigate to it.
Wasn't there a landing page with information that you could have linked to
instead?
