Default Adding a new user?

Hi all,

Today I installed Mandrake10.1 on my machine, everything went fine but
I skipped adding a new user. I only gave the root password, a skipped
adding a new user while installation was going on. It installed very
well and working fine, but I cannot login, when prompted for a password
at startup. I thought I may be able to login with the root password,
but none is working!! So I tried to add a new user using
"failsafe", but unfortunately it goes into some strange mode (I
have never seen before). I see this...

Telling INIT to go to single user mode
INIT: Going single user
Sh-2.05#

What should I do now??

Thanks a lot for any help
