<p>It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a
<code class="literal">superuser</code> (Administrator) password, usually called the
<span class="emphasis"><em>root </em></span>password in Linux. You need to repeat the same
password in the box underneath, to check that the first entry was not
mistyped.

<p>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.
</p>
<p>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.
