It is worth perhaps mentioning that the system account comes with every
windows computer, and is not specific to wpkg in any way.
I think the initial confusion come from the assumption that
"non-passworded" SYSTEM account meant that anybody could log in as
SYSTEM without a password, however in this case "non-passworded" means
cannot be used to log in. Its probably better to think of it as a locked
password. Unlike a standard account it does not show up in any user
lists (that I can see) and it is not possible to change anything,
including the password.
