Password:</title>
</info>
<para>It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a
<literal>superuser</literal> (Administrator) password, usually called the
<emphasis>root </emphasis>password in Linux. You need to repeat the same
password in the box underneath, to check that the first entry was not
mistyped.</para>
<note xml:id="givePassword">
<para>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.</para>
<para>All passwords are case-sensitive. It is best to use a mixture of
letters (upper and lower case), numbers and other characters in a
password.</para>

office applications or play games and anything else the average user might
use a computer for.</para>

<caution condition="live">
<simpara>The login entered here should be different to any login
currently in use for your <filename>/home</filename> directory. Some
