That's what it's supposed to do.
Did you create any other users during install?
If not, log in as root with the password you supplied before and then type: #adduser username where username is the name of the user you want to use as default. Then logoff (^D), and log in as the new user. If you want a graphical display, try startx when logged on as the new user.
