I'm guessing that GoGrid provisioned the server, then sent him an email with his password. After first login, he would have been prompted to change his password, but somebody got to his email before he logged in...



They respond: "Passwords are never emailed. They are available via the portal if needed." - https://twitter.com/#!/GoGrid/status/91345641728512000


Maybe they weren't sending truly random one-time-use passwords.
