During the installation you created a user.

But I don't understand what you mean by "while booting ask user name" - what do you mean by that in particular, how is the user name asked? Do you mean at the login manager?
Also, what Mageia media did you use for installation, and what desktop environment and what login manager did you choose?

hi rsu and welcome to Mageia.


during install, did you, during the boot options enter a password for the bootloader?
this after you enter the root /admin and user passwords and user name

If you did, I am unsure how to disable the password for the bootloader.

If you have just completed the install, you could re-run the install and leave the bootloader password field blank.

have a look here section : http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/mageia/ ... akX-en.pdf, section 23.1.1. Grub2 on Legacy/MBR and Legacy/GPT systems

(from https://www.mageia.org/en/doc/

Mageia 6

(also as file: PDF, EPUB) ) and choose (pdf)
