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.
