Remove preset password for admin logon

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Before making a release, we _MUST_ remove the default admin password.

Instead, either:

 1) the installer should require an admin password to be set

or

 2) no password should be set, and the first time a connection to the web
interface is made _from localhost_, an option to set the admin password can
be provided.

I think 1 is probably better.  It should probably go along with a simple
command line utility for setting the password (which the installer can then
call).

Actually, I think the easiest way to fix this is to have a new command line 
option
for startflax.py which causes it to set the new password instead of running the 
file.
 This will avoid us having to have a further frozen python script, and lets us take
advantage of all the path configuration stuff too.

I'll implement this, taking the new password to be read from stdin, and storing 
it in
the cp.conf configuration file.

Charlie will then need to integrate it with the installer somehow, but I'll 
take the
bug over until I've got a command line system for setting the password made.

OK, I think the best thing would be for me to write a separate program that is 
run
after installation, handling the following tasks:

1. Set the password
2. Set the data directory
3. Install Flax as a Service if required.

It can be run again for 1. or 2. after the fact of course. I can probably knock 
this
up pretty quickly in Visual C.

Cool.  It can call the startflax.exe script to set the password; then we only 
have to
implement that in one place.

This will just be a popup box during installation

I've added the option to the startflax.py file, but not yet finished 
implementing it.

The --set-admin-password option now works, so I'll reassign to Charlie to 
finish this
off.

Increasing the priority of this, since the installer doesn't work without it.
