It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a
superuser
(Administrator) password, usually called the
root password in Linux. 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.

Login Name
Enter the user login name or let DrakX use a version of the user's real name. The login name is case-sensitive.
סיסמה
Type in the user password (remembering the advice in the Note above).
Password (again): Retype the user password. DrakX will check that you have not mistyped the password.
