I have not specified any login details during the installation and the only password i have created is my root password.

I'm a little bit stuck

Any help for this complete novice would really come in handy..

thanks for reading,

When you installed the OS, did you select, "FULL Install Plus OEM?"
Or did you select the minimum client only install?


By the way, you can login using the root...

timresh console login: root
Password: <passwd>
