" i went to the command line i KDE and typed in sax2 and hit ok and it didn't do amything"
A user cannot run sax2, only root can run sax2. There are many thing in Linux that only root is allowed to do.
" if didn't give a rights list or give me a choice to set the account as admin or root "
The SuSE installer always creates a root account and you have no choice about it. The only choice the SuSE installer gives you is to pick a password for root. SuSE asks you for the root password twice and the two paswords have to match.
"I created a username and password in the beginning of the install"
Yes, you can create one or more users in addition to root.
Since you did not realize that you were creating passwords for both root and user did you
use the same password for both? Maybe your user password will also work for root.
