debianmint,

During the install process you will first be prompted to set-up your password for the administrator which is your root password. Then you will be prompted to add a user to the system. Add your regular user to the wheel group and any other group that you need. The installer will ask you to put in a password for your regular user.
The type of password that you use is up to you. I suggest that you use a password not easily guessed by penetration attempts.
