Did you create a user during firstboot or during some other post-installation process?

Yes, a normal user. After the first reboot, the firstboot ask me for a user, name and password, but not for root user.
The work around that i uses, is passwd logged as root, and done, the root user that yes exist, have a password no NULL.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2012-09-04 13:47:09 UTC
We should perhaps change firstboot to make sure the sudo line written out requires a password.  However, the rest is working as planned.

There is Password spoke visible on the main hub screen. Did you entered and leaved the screen or did you missed is completely?
