These are usually set up during the installation procedure. It should have asked you for a username and password. restart your computer and go into linux recovery mode. once in the recovery mode options choose drop to root shell prompt. type the command 'passwd username' there is a possibility that you may get an 'Authentication token manipulations error' as Filesystem state could be 'Read only'. To fix it, type the following command before the first command. mount -rw -o remount
If it doesn't accept your command you'll need to do the following You need to mount the filesystem as read-write (rw). Do step 4 and type "mount -rw -o remount". You can also go into the recovery menu first, select "fsck" which will mount your filesystem as rw (and it will also check the disk for errors too) and after that you can use the root shell.
