Building a new machine with Hetzner fails if it has to create an admin user first

once I created a user with an arbitrary password, it seemed to do okay (though I have not yet successfully deployed to it.)

Also hitting this issue. Printing response.read() gives the following:

<form id="admin_update" onsubmit="new Ajax.Updater('admin_422502', '/server/adminUpdate', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, onLoading:function(request, json){addAjaxLoader('admin_422502')}, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;" action="/server/adminUpdate" method="post"><table class="form">
  <tr>
    <td class="label_req">Login</td>
    <td class="element"></td>
  </tr>
    <tr class="submit_row">
    <td class="label">
      <input class='button calltoaction' type='submit' value='Save'  />      <input type="hidden" name="id" value="422502" />
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>
<input class='button' type='button' value='Delete account' onclick="javascript:  new Ajax.Updater('admin_422502', '/server/adminDelete/id/422502', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true}); addAjaxLoader('admin_422502'); return false; ">

Sent a mail to Hetzner, asking whether they could add OAauth for specific servers to the API.

As for this issue, I guess this belongs to the hetzner Python API, I've opened an issue there: aszlig/hetzner#18
