The initial installation does not run the nescessary programs to support
passwords on user accounts, so I am not surprised this does not work.
It would be the correct thing to do if you where installing a CPU server
but a disk-full terminal does not need/use passwords.
As uriel said, when you rebooted in as yourself rio started, unfortunately you
didn't have any exciting programs started from your login script so you get just
a grey screen. If you right click and select NEW you will get a terminal window.
