The default user (to whom you probably didn't give a password) is root. But before you do this you might want to look at the guide for users new to both FreeBSD *and* Unix at http://www.freebsd.org -- follow the links to documentation and then tutorials. It's also available at http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/newuser.html (where it's a single document, instead of being divided up and linked); or I can send you a copy by e-mail if you like. It doesn't deal with installation at all--but rather with what you do once you get it installed! Hope it helps. Annelise
