Hey Grant,

The username matching the password you configured during installation is
'root'. The 'my host' part of 'my host login' refers to the hostname of
the machine (configured in /etc/rc.conf).

cheers,
Koen

More precise: 'root' on Linux always is the name of the admin. You still need to add a user, since it's not very smart to run some apps with root permissions.

Dunno if a user is automatically add, if you install a desktop environment, since I'm lazy and just made the basic install.If not you should add a user manually.
