Bug Description

Some people confuse the "account password" in Landscape with their login password.

Given the fact that by default the server doesn't have an account password set, any text that the client submits as the account password will work, so people using their login password there won't even know it's wrong or not being used.

The end result is that a password much more valuable than the simple "account password" is now potentially stored in /etc/landscape/client.conf.

I suggest to change the wording of "account password" to "Computer registration password" both in the landscape-config text wizard and in the GUI. Maybe even "Computer registration password (optional):", or "Computer registration password (blank by default):".
