Is this a joke?  It tells you on the login screen.  If this isn't a joke, you really need to read the beginners guide through several times before you try to use Arch.

Give him a break, he is obviously new to Linux and here.

Welcome to the forums btw. Make sure to read the wiki and do forum searches before attempting to ask repeated questions.

It's funny how "new to linux" and "unable to read what is displayed on the screen" often seems to go hand in hand. It really makes me wonder about the quality of whatever OS they are coming from.
