Sorry, the localhost password, when and where do you see this ? When installling it is not necessary to specifiy the localhost, so if in the event you did proivide information use that to get past this...hope your reply can provide a bit more info

Sounds like you did not enter a root password and then after that you were supposed to create one user account such as admin with a password.

You probably have to reinstall, select upgrade, and then do the above.

When is asks you for the password, did you try leaving it blank and just pressing [ Enter ] ?

What you are describing sounds very odd. Please take a look at the following links and tell us where you are asked to enter the localhost password.

Please tell us if you see the screen in one of the above links.

Sorry to say that I cannot find anything regarding this problem.

Just to back up a bit, you never mentioned what kind of hardware you are installing on.

Also, what host name did you give to the system?

There is an option to add a password to the boot, again I am assuming that you did not as most people do not unless they are setting up an extremely secure system.
