OS 10.5 - can't log in to my brand new iMac :(

So I just bought my first mac today, the 24" iMac, and I'm already having trouble . After doing all the registration forms, taking my picture and all that, It sends me to the log in screen. Only problem is that the only account available to log in is an account labeled "other..." and it has no picture on it. it requires a log in name and password, but I never set one up. I can't log into my brand new computer and all the support people are not available for a few days because of the holidays. PLEASE HELP!

Usually your login name is your first name some times with the first letter capitalized sometimes not. as for your password it should have asked you to create one twice when you were doing the registration. If for some bizarre reason it didn't set a password then just try your first name and leave the password blank. If that doesn't work just select other and try to login that way. Other than that you may have to do a System re-install. (it's easier than it sounds)
