System:
AMD XP 2500 @2.2GHz
Shuttle SN45G
512MB DDR
ATI 9600 Pro
80GB Western Digital

OSes:
WinXP Pro on C:
MDK 9.2 on (uh the rest of the HD)

Boot Loader:
Lilo


System works great, XP is running fine, the MDK 9.2 install seems to have gone fine. Only problem is when i boot up MDK and enter the login and password i put in when i installed it, it says invalid login.

I tried to login many times, i deleted the MDK partitions and reinstalled MDK, tried to login again (lost count of how many times i tried), i gave up before i started throwing things and booted XP and blew up stuff in BF 1942.

now i'm here posting my problem hoping someone can help.

Just type "root" for username and type in your root password when it asks. Once you've got a GUI as root, run "userdrake", and repair the username to what you want it to be.
I beleive it's in the Mandrake Control Center.
