Can you elaborate on where you're seeing this message? I'm sure we can hide it, I'm just unclear as to where you're seeing this message.

It is displayed on CentOS Linux console when I start the CentOS on VMPlayer.
The console displays:
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
kernel 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 on an i686

This is in the /etc/issue file, which is automatically generated from a script at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/updateissue.sh - the latter is what you would want to edit. Just comment out the line for printing the default password, and then run the script once to initially apply your changes.
