It does not show the password for security reasons, you may change this to * or *** per letter at another stage.

Does the prompt change after you log in?

After you have logged in, type "startx" (without quote marks) and hit enter.

That should bring up the GUI.

OK.......

When you have the black login screen, does the caps lock LED on your keyboard change state when you press the caps-lock key? (You know the three lights on the keyboard for num-lock, scroll-lock and caps-lock)

If it changes then your keyboard is working.

Make sure you still use the same Case When You Type In the PassWord (Like, GlennsPref) even though you can't see it.

The prompt should change after you have logged in.

Then you can type startx.

You could try asking here......http://forum.mandrivaclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=39641&

my password just number and the num lock is working
the prompt didnt move and didnt echo any thing not even *****

I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.

But as I said above, there is no echo for the password.

And remember all passwords and names are case sensitive in unix/linux

Maybe try a re-install and read the manual.

Good luck.
