how to login in REDHAT 9 linux for the first time?

When I open redhat 9 for the first time after original installation runs a setup wizard that asks for certain things I cannot recall as of now, but my problem is:
I cannot use my keyboard and my mouse for whatever reason.
Is there anyway to fix this?

This might be explainable if your keyboard and mouse are USB. I’ve had to enable BIOS level USB emulation in order for low-level things like the GRUB boot loader or Slackware’s terminal runlevels to have mouse support.
You can try connecting a PS/2 mouse and keyboard or enable BIOS level USB emulation (provided your BIOS gives you the option) if you’re using USB input devices. Just be sure to power your system down before connecting or disconnecting PS/2 devices; they’re not hot-swappable like USB.
If not then you need to see if you can reconfigure your keyboard and mouse in Redhat’s setup without having to reinstall everything. Although since it’s a clean install all you’ll lose is more time.
