Adding a password to the "user" account makes the device less secure IMHO and 
is bad advice - it's yet another account that can be exploited by brute force.

A better choice would be to add your SSH public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys 
on your 770/N800, this way you can login as "user" without having to use the 
less secure password method for authentication. There is a thread[1] on ITT 
Forum which explains how to create and use public/private keys with PuTTY.
