Thanks Juergen for your explanation and suggestion. I will use your method
then since, yes, it does make sense after all. Thanks again

I'm thinking your problem is that chpasswd only works for existing users.
You could probably add newusers to your packages, and have your script
something like:
#!/bin/sh
echo "admin:admin:::Admin User:/home/admin:/bin/bash" | newusers
newusers takes a line that looks like an /etc/passwd entry,
