System not accessible after installation of Kubuntu.

[Bas Roufs]

Hello everybody

At present, I am installing Kubuntu 7.10 on a 2nd computer, a laptop. I 
have run through the whole installation procedure. Than, something 
strange happens at the first attempt to access the computer after 
installation. I simply can't get in, because of password and username 
problems. When installing, I have set exactly the same simple password 
and username words as the ones I work with on the other PC where I 
already work with Kubuntu 7.10. However it may be, every attempt to get 
the password-username combination accepted, has failed so far. Every 
time, I get the message 'login failed'. I also tried to do the console 
login, ALT+N. This does option does not work neither. The only thing I 
managed to do properly so far is to use the SHUT DOWN function :-), 
ALT+S. Because I can't access the system, everything at the laptop 
stagnates now.

What would you advise me to do next? Reinstalling Kubuntu? If so, how 
can I prevent the same password-username problem from coming back?
Or is there any other smart bypass to eliminate the problem without 
reinstalling everything?

I would highly appreciate your feedback.... Greetings.

Bas.
