It certainly is not. &lt;br /&gt;
As this is a fresh install, there are no existing users to cause problems. Only the default Administrator account. My password .properties file contains :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
conf.password.ADMIN_USERNAME=pauls&lt;br /&gt;
conf.password.ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=Paul&lt;br /&gt;
conf.password.ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Simpkins&lt;br /&gt;
conf.password.ADMIN_EMAIL=XXXX@XXXX.com	&lt;br /&gt;
conf.password.ADMIN_TEMPORARY_PASSWORD=Temp1234&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can't generate first admin user</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/49310?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Oct 2017 12:08:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:0bb1dd0a-e9c8-4d7a-8784-e2c62267b756</guid><dc:creator>Rama Thummala</dc:creator><description>&lt;a href="/members/pauls985"&gt;pauls985&lt;/a&gt; , Yes, the password.properties should be deleted on successful deployment .&lt;br /&gt;
And the username in password.properties should not be the Administrator or shouldn&amp;#39;t be the existing Appian user.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
