RedHat Login Problem

[mr_hil22]

Hi all...

I have just finished installing linux on my pc for the first time.
The problem is after i try to log on to redhat it gives an error message saying that "invalid entry" and doesnt log me on.

during installation i have created password for the "root" user and that is what i use when i try to log on:

username: root
password: xxxx(the one i created during installation)

My pc also has win2000 but thats in a complete different partition and i am not able to open that as well.

i have tried twice but failed...
please help me with this issue.

Kind regards

try this, it has worked for me every time

1. Reboot your PC & when u see the loader screen just type 'e',
U will see another boot screen like :-

kernel boot.... / ... /LABEL=/
press 'e' again ...

2. Modify this line as :- (just type '1' after giving single space after "/LABEL=/" )
i.e.
kernel boot..... /LABEL=/ 1
Press Enter....
3. When u see again the second scren type 'b'.

4. you will automatically go to the superuser prompt .... like
sh-0.15 #
just give command as :-
sh-0.15 # passwd root
linux will ask you for new password give it & reboot your machine....
5. Next time login as a root... & as a root u can easily set or reset the password of all other user..
