At the "localhost login:" prompt, enter "root".  Then at the password
prompt, enter the password you supplied during installation.  Then
create some regular non-root user accounts.  Try to minimize use as root
user.  It's a tremendous security risk to leave yourself logged in as
root and leave the machine.  Good luck,
