Install works but the password entered will not work to log on. Please Help was created by John15
Hi all. I have installed the software four times now to no avail.
All seems to bo well, but when i finish and try to log in to linux it keeps saying wrong password.
I know for certain I am using thr one entered at instalation. Even tried just a single letter, no good ????
This is driving me mad!
Please help
John

1-check if the CapsLock is active
2-did you change the keyboard layout
3-mind the user name and password fields
4-do NOT enter password for ROOT if it asks, just skip to next step.

I concur on tommylight's point 3. The Debian login can make it unclear whether it wants username or password.

Thank's for your replies. It's the login screen thats not clear!
As you say it wants the user name in the top of the two rows but there is no indication that that is what it needs.
All sorted now
Thanks again
John

Yes, Debian deserves some kind of prize for the dumbest login screen possible.
