Can I do it now with out another 6 hour install?
Yes, use the method detailed below by Steve Berg.... Once you are
logged in to the console (in text mode, using root), use the useradd
tool to create a user for yourself. You should then be able to login in
to the gui using it.
BTW, the last install I did (F13 Beta, yesterday, from a live image)
rebooted after installation, and the first thing it asked me was to
create a user account before it put up the graphical login screen.

By default these days X does not allow root login. If you switch
over to
a terminal console (e.g. Alt-F2) and try that it should work just fine.
Did you try to create a user account and login with that during the
installation? Once you get the install finish the root/GUI login
restriction can be disabled if you desire.
