  1. This system now has a system user named 'sympl', which has inherited the
-      password of the 'root' user.
-    You should change this password IMMEDIATELY, and you will be prompted when
-      you continue.
+      ssh keys from the root user if set.
+    A randomly generated password for the 'sympl' user has been set as:
+      $SYMPL_PASSWORD
+    You should change this password as soon as possible with the command
+      'passwd sympl'.
     Ensure the password is complex as it has access to the whole system.
     Consider using SSH Keys where possible.
