</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Login Name</term>
<listitem>
<para>
You should select an unique
user name to access to the system. The name should not contain uppercase
letters and usually is a combination of your name and your surname; e.g. juser
for John User. Also, the user name cannot match that of an existing system
user account - i.e., you can't have a GForge user named 'root'.
</para>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term>Password</term>
<listitem>
<para>
You should insert your password
here. It must be at least 6 chars long. You shouldn't use too obvious names for
the password. It should be easy to remember for you, but hard to guess for
others. So don't use the name of your dog, of your cat, or the name of your
birth city.

combination of letters and numbers.</para>
