Login and password problem - newbie (Linz)

[Bill Christiansen]

I would try recovery mode from the grub menu to see if that gets you to
the command line as root, you could then use adduser <name> to reset up
a user. Possibly he remebered the original password incorrectly also
user name should be lower case and no spaces.
