Who originally picked admin / b username and password combo? Is there a story a behind it? Why b?
I'm just curious if there is a story behind it.

It was I that changed the default password to 'b', but it wasn't the result of a great meaningful insight, clever security considerations or a joke.
Truth is I was implementing the Change Password dialog and was flipping between 'a' and 'b'. The dialog happened to work when I was on 'b', and the 'b' password remained in the product.
I think this was in CMS v5+ - not v5.0 because the dialog was added later as far as I remember.
