   This is explained on the page that comes up when installation is complete.
   (The page says "An administrator login "sptadmin" has been set up.  The
   first thing you should do is go to your new SPT home page, log in with the
   administrator account ("sptadmin") and password (also "sptadmin"), select
   "Preferences" via the menu on the right-hand side, and CHANGE YOUR
   PASSWORD.")  It's become apparent, though, that this is problematic for a
   number of reasons, and we will be revising this so that you enter your
   own admin password when doing a fresh install.
