I don't trust them either, but I muuuuch prefer this practice over the old "admin:admin" standard. Someone going through the trouble of cracking a Pseudo-Random Number Generator, even if that's a weakness, is a heck of a lot more effort than typing the model number into Google along with "default password" and clicking the first result.
