That's what the password screen is for. You will use this password to administer your system. Refer to these installation docs: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Installing_Mandriva_Linux http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-mandriva-one-2008-spring-gnome http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-mandriva-one-2008-spring-kde Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.
