single user mode is normally reserved for root only. A lot of services just aren't turned on by default. As root, you can just su to the user that you need to be, for whatever reason. and, of course, as root, you can create the user account, and password, using the GUI redhat-config-users, or if you are restricted to console terminal mode, then useradd/passwd are your friends. (the man pages for useradd is fairly thorough, if long).
