Re: Password?
Did you use the OEM install rather than the text install?
OEM Installation
The OEM installation mode creates the graphical desktop, but creates the user account oem with the password oem. This account can be used to customize the system. After the install, you can run the oem-config script if you need to change any of the original installation responses, or oem-config-prepare to remove the temporary oem account and enable configuration prompting during the next boot (for end-user configuration). This is an ideal choice for installers who know that they will be customizing the system and removing the installation account before the system is passed to someone else. (From http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...2132609,00.asp)
So, log on as oem with the password oem then open a terminal, input:
