i finally got linux to install... however when it said to make a user account i decided not to because it is my computer and no one else uses it. anyways i then started linux for the first time and then at the welcome screen it asks for a user name and password. i did make an administrator account at the begging of the installation for linux because it is necisary and i made the password - password. now when i get to the welcome screen i do not know how to get in, ive tried usernames like administrator or admin and then the password but it says that its incorrect. what am i doing wrong do i have to reinstall linux?

I believe you can boot to run level 1 and edit the password file with VI. Put a * in the password field of the ROOT account. This will blank ROOT's password.
