I have just installed the latest version of red hat onto my computer. The installation went fine but I’m having problems booting up. When booting up it goes to the grub menu and i select the red hat OS from the menu, then loads up a bit more and asks for a login and password to continue but I can't remember setting one up in the installation process so have no idea what it is and wont allow me to go any further. Any ideas thanks

There are 3 possibilities that I can think of:

1) You setup the password but forgot that you did it.

2) The installation isn't complete yet. Reboot, insert the installation CD/DVD, and then tell Grub to boot RedHat.

3) The installation was somehow corrupted, start over again.
