FC6 boots but won't let me log in
This is on a Pentium II Xeon, 256 MB RAM, nvidia.
Had multiple cases where the installation process just reset the monitor and stopped. Was finally able to install everything, it goes to a command line boot prompt. I try to log in as root but it says 'login incorrect'.
What did I do wrong?
please help
Thanks
Ok - I found some stuff here about changing my password so I'll try that. But does anyone know why this would be so?
I'm a newbie (to Linux and forums as a whole) so bear with me.

My guess would be that it's a bug. I have noticed an increase in the number of post dealing with lost passwords/users during installation.But does anyone know why this would be so?I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

I'd rather be lost at the lake than found at home.

You can change root's password by booting into runlevel 1. Add "init 1" line to your boot entry in GRUB. Then, change the password by issuing "passwd root" command. This usually helps. The only problem that can arise here is whether your GRUB loader password-protected or not ))))
