The step you missed is this one:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/System#Root_password
If you're at the command prompt inside the chroot then you're already
logged in as root. So, you just type "passwd" and enter a new root
password. root is your username. You can create additional users
using useradd:

The same way as from the minimal CD. Just open a terminal and follow
the handbook.
