Force random password on first run. Stop using Crafty as default password

Andrew requested to merge sec/admin-creation into dev

What does this MR do and why?

Updates first creation procedures to add admin user and a random password. This will prevent user accounts from being broken into due to not changing the default credentials.

The newly created credentials will be dumped into app/config/default-creds.txt where the user can copy and paste the default password.

We will still strongly encourage the user to create their own strong password and/or delete default-creds.txt.
