No modern installation of WordPress should ever, ever use a default password or "admin" as the admin username. Ever.

 

WordPress has been enabling users to define their own admin name username as part of the standard install process for quite a while now and ALL of the auto-installers (Fantastico, Softaculous, Installatron) have followed their lead.

 

All also generate unique random passwords. You must have very little experience of users if you think it is okay to provide the same password to every user and expect them to actually change it.

 

Only AutoPress has deliberately moved backwards, re-introducing a well-known security vulnerability simply in order to be able to charge for "customization" work - meaning you charge multiple customers to copy and paste in a feature that should be standard.

 

What you are doing to your paying customers is deeply unethical and I can say, with certainty, that you are going to be legally responsible for any losses your customers incur as a result of their customers getting hacked. You should seriously reconsider you position on this.
