No user when I boot into the Display Manager

Hello everyone, first post here, so useless to comment that I'm a total noob.

I have just installed Arch Linux, LXQt as a DE and SDDM as a Display Manager, the last version on Virtual Box, from a Windows host.

My problem is that when i arrive into the log screen, no user shows up, which seems very weird since I'm pretty sure I created a profile during the installation.
Has anyone had this problem before, or some clues?

I'm pretty sure I created a profile during the installation.

Check /etc/passwd …

iirc, sddm will not show any users w/ an ID < 1000 (nor, by implication, the root user)
