Can log into KDE with root


I am having trouble with Caldera Linux. I can log into the server from a workstation and see my files fine but I can not log into the server from the console. when I try it gives me an error saying that the password is garbled. I have tried to boot into single user mode but that does not seem to help or the procedure I am using is wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do.
