Assuming you are using Fedora 8.
At install you set a root password.
At "firstboot" it will prompt you to make a regular user account. For more info goto
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/ and look at section 17. You can also take a look at
http://www.howtoforge.com/installati...edora8-desktop for screen shots.
If you did not get the "firstboot" screens which happens if you install and reboot then ignore the PC for a while you can login at the login screen as root with the password you used for root during install. You can then make sure firstboot is enabled by running as root at a command line:
Code:
chkconfig firstboot on
Then reboot your PC and it should run thru the firstboot configuration.
If you can not login at the login screen press ctl+alt+F1 which will switch you to console mode. Use the login name root and the password you used at install. Then run the chkconfig command there and reboot.
If you can not login at the console mode then you forgot your password. Just reinstall.
