I have followed this Quick and Dirty Guide (https://teksyndicate.com/forum/linux/qu … ion/158212) to install Arch linux. It worked like a charm, however in the last step I got a problem.
I needed to
reboot
But got error message
running in chroot, ignoring request
After this I just exited, rebooted, tried to turn on the system, but got asked for user/password (I didn't even set them).
My questions:
1. Is it possible to get into installed system (if yes, how)?
2. Why did I got this chroot message and how to avoid it?

I suggest you follow the official guides from the Arch wiki.

1. Is it possible to get into installed system (if yes, how)?
Same way you did when you installed the system.
2. Why did I got this chroot message and how to avoid it?
Because you can't reboot from a chroot. To avoid it, don't try to reboot from a chroot.

You need to set a root password or add a new user when in the chroot. I generally do both while in the chroot.
If you didn't set a root password, reboot into the arch usb or cd and chroot into the installed system and run passwd.
If you did set a root password, the user is root, and the password is the password you set.
If you want a new user do:
useradd -m -g users -G wheel,games,optical,storage,power,floppy,video,audio -s /bin/bash username
Then run:
passwd username
Of course, if you're doing a multi user setup, then I would give users specific users permissions for sudo, rather than adding users into wheel. But if you're just doing one user then it is fine to put yourself into the wheel group, as you'll need to be the sysadmin anyways.

The guide tells you to exit the chroot first.
