See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9>. In your case, the short
answer is put

VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off

in mm_cfg.py.

There are only two passwords that work for the Mailman web create
interface. Neither is set by default. These are the Mailman site
password (which is like a super list admin password) and the Mailman
list creator password.

set the site password with

sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/mmsitepass password

and set the list creator password with

sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/mmsitepass -c password

See

sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/mmsitepass --help

Note that if you have a site password, you don't need a list creator
password unless you want to give the ability to create lists to
someone who doesn't have the site password, and setting a list creator
password the same as the site password is superfluous.
