Enter a user name and your full name, and then enter your chosen password. Type your password once more in the Confirm Password box to ensure that it is correct. Refer to Chapter 11, Set the Root Password for guidelines on selecting a secure password.

[Tip]Creating extra user accounts

To add additional user accounts to your system after the installation is complete, use the User Manager utility. From the main menu, chose Desktop->System Settings->Users & Groups.

To configure Fedora to use network services for authentication or user information, select Use Network Login.... Network authentication is explained in a separate tutorial.

When you have configured a login, click Next.
