New install of 8.04, won't accept password
I just installed 8.04 desktop on a clean system. After the install, it booted fine then I got a light brown window/box asking for my password. I entered the password that I used during the installation, but it refuses to accept it. I've tried various versions( upper case, lower case, combination of both, etc.) I then came out and checked the forums and found a suggestion to drop and go to entering a new password using the passwd command. That worked for the terminal side, and it only allowed me to use a one letter password. I'm new at Linux so I haven't learned the command line commands yet. I've reinstalled numerous times and even downloaded the ISO again. It always comes back to asking for a password and not accepting what I had previously entered. This may be a bug in the latest version, but I don't know. I would like to start using Linux, but so far this has been a nightmare of frustration. Any help would be appreciated.
