I just tried this under 10.04 LTS and the install process popped up a 
dialog with a password it had created and listed the command to change 
it.  You'd probably save yourself some trouble if you mount your drive 
under /var/lib/backuppc before the install so everything lands in the 
right place from the beginning (assuming that's not the only drive in 
the box...).  And you might consider making the drive a raid with a 
'missing' member instead of using it directly.  That way you can easily 
add a mirror later for reliability.
