There's nothing obnoxious about that; it's far simpler than requiring the admin to discover any secret credential that was automatically assigned to the DB, and obviously superior to leaving the DB with no credential at all, or with a well-known default that admins leave unchanged, leaving themselves vulnerable to whatever script-kiddie comes along down the road.
