Just re-read once again the Book. OK, I read too fast on those two lines:

"
Set Remote System Username to admin.
Note: This must always be admin, no other user will work!
"

Took them for default example values, while the small comment says this is not 
an exercise.
Why is there a box to enter the remote system username, when it is useless and 
has to be 'admin' anyway?... :)

What privilege limitations can be made to user 'admin', and still get it to 
work for xmlrpc?
I don't like keeping a user named admin, no matter how strong the password 
might be, so I usually disable it and create a new one with all the required 
rights for full administration.
