It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a
superuser (Administrator) password, usually called the
root password in Linux. As you type a password into the
top box a shield will change from red-to-yellow-to-green depending on the
strength of the password. A green shield shows you are using a strong
password. You need to repeat the same password in the box underneath, to
check that the first entry was not mistyped.
Add a User here. A regular user has fewer privileges than the
superuser (root), but enough to use the Internet, office
applications or play games and anything else the average user might use a
computer for.
