Log in (when you see
<prompt>login:
</prompt>) as a user you created during installation or as
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem>. (Your FreeBSD installation will already have an account for
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem>; who can go anywhere and do anything, including deleting essential files, so be careful!) The symbols
<prompt>%
</prompt> and
<prompt>#
</prompt> in the following stand for the prompt (yours may be different), with
<prompt>%
</prompt> indicating an ordinary user and
<prompt>#
</prompt> indicating
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem>.
