Login trouble after install

Greetings!
I finally took the plunge and decided to check out what linux is all about. I managed to install it without problems.

Here is the issue. Im running Redhat Fedora 3, and during the installation i opted not to create a username. It's now asking me to login with my username and im unable to being as i did not set one up.

Can someone please help me out here? Is there a generic username/password i can use to login to an admin account?

ANy help would be appriecated

Thank you!

You should have been prompted for a 'root' password during installation.
this will allow you to log in and then create a 'normal' user.

Be careful what you do as root because you have no restrictions
