aInformation on dbreplicator

I cannot find any information in msdn or in sql server online books on
dbreplicator.
When I turned on the replication, the user profile which sql server switched
over to dbreplicator with an unknow default password. We want to lock down
the servers but do not want to restrict replication. Is there documentation
on this anywhere?
I have never heard of dbreplicator. Are you prehaps referring to
repl_distributor?

|||To clarify:
When I install sql server on a machine I usually default to having it run
under the system account. This is the main OS account which many processes
run under. However, I have noticed that when I set up replication that there
is another account , local to the machine, called ".\dbreplicator" which
suddenly appears with a password which I did not provide. I have looked for
information but it seems undocumented. On one of my servers I have since
flipped the setting back to using system with apparently no ill effects. So I
am looking for more information and when dbreplicator would be important.
