haven't set up suse before, but i have to believe its similar to others. when installing, it should have asked you to create a root password

try entering root and the password you set for that, and then once you are in, create a new user with limited privileges for everday use

sorry i can't be more specific as i am not familiar with suse

I don't know if a separate thread should be created for this, but i'll answer it anyway.

I don't know about SuSE, but with other distros, you can use the ifconfig -a command as root to see all your network devices. Do you see amny ethx or wlanx devices?
