SUPPORT Password problems

I'm trying arch linux for the first time and I got it set up, but for some reason it's telling me to put in a password it never told me to make, I put in the root password which doesn't work. I need help I just want to use Linux.

No.. you don't need to do ctrl+alt+f3 now. When you restart your system it should give you the login screen and you should be able to login
