We got serious install problems, here; and have spent two days attempting

First prompt asks you for the user name, which is 'root', and the second prompt
asks you for the password, which is the one you have chossen when you installed
Red Hat Linux.

I strongly suggest you take a look and read about Linux from the User's Guide.
