I assume that you put in the password if you have that prompt. Now you're logged in.
What kind of install did you do? Did you do a workstation, server, custom??? Do you know if you have X-Windows installed?
Try typing 'telinit 5' and see if you get a graphical screen (assuming your video card and monitor are configured).
