I skipped a step here: you will be asked for a user password, too. 
Follow the same rules as for creating a root password and WRITE IT DOWN 
along with your exact username. You are encouraged NOT to use the same 
password for "root" and for your first user.

Here, of course, I mean to type in your user's password, not root's.

The rest should be the same.

Let us know how this works for you!

Best wishes,
