Hi,
can you please describe your problem more precicly? What means you can't enter your password? What happens, what errors do you see and so on..

Next question: can you login on the ttys? If your are on the graphical login-screen press ctrl+alt+F1 at the same time. You will be sent to a non-gui terminal which asks you to login. Does it work there?

there may be a setting on your system , that you cant see any password characters echoed back to your screen...just type your password after you type your username, and try logging in.

Can you help with this problem?
