My instances do the same thing. It may be a good idea for the developers to just remove the line 'Send mail with password'. I don't think that Plone can send an assigned password. It wouldn't be a good security practice, so that's actually a good thing. Either way, just don't check off the send mail, and the password you assign will work. I just sent this issue in to the tracker and marked it as trivial. Ticket #7215 (new enhancement)
