Installed login screen, but can't log in

I followed the beginners guide which led me to install arch a few times due to my inexperience, but I finally was able to get it to run, I ended up installing a log in screen with kde, but when I rebooted I tried to log in using root, but it didn't work. I was wondering how will I be able to log in without trying to install again.

The problem was I didn't assign any users for the myhost log in screen so root won't cut it anymore. And I was wondering if there was any default log in or something before I'd try installing it again.

Re: Installed login screen, but can't log in

use a live cd enter the root partition and edit the initab run lvl so you can enter bash instead of kdm... or edit .xinitrc in /~ so that it says   exec xterm and comment th eline that says exec startkde usin "#" also remove the kdm daemon in your rc.conf so that the kdm wont show up next time you restart... I hope this helps.
