Congratulations!  As for your answer, the username would be 'root' 
without the quotes for the password you specified in the install.

The install should also have asked you to add more users at some point, 
did you not add any then?  BTW, never use root on a regular basis for 
work.  Create a new user with regular privileges and go from there.  
I'll be glad to help anytime, I spend a large portion of my day teaching 
newbies the ropes.
