hi,
I installed redhat 7.3 on my computer on which had installed windows 2000 server before.But when I finished installation of redhat, I do not know what is my login name.During installation, I just were asked to give a password..but what is my login name. I tried to use administrator as login name, but I failed.

Does anybody know what is the default login name?
Thanks

the admin in unix and Linux systems is called root

And from root you can make other acounts for regular users, and you should since root is not for everyday use.
