Hi,
today I upgraded my Suse Linux from 9.2 to 9.3. Everything went well, I downloaded literally all available patches under the 9.3 GUI and started installing files. Upon reboot however, Suse at first kept on refering me to version 9.2 which no longer existed. After fixing MBR entries 9.3 finally showed up and the program advances to the login screen, but at the login screen the user name and password I had set up were no longer accepted (on the graphical interface as well as on the login command line); I cannot log in as root either, if I enter root as user it won`t even ask me for a password, but declares the username as illegal. I tried setting up two new users via Knoppix and it was shown among the user list, but upon reboot both new users were rejected by Suse 9.3. I also "hacked" the root file via the widespread "vi procedure" for resetting the root account under Knoppix just to make sure that the root password was originally set correct during the installation (it was). Does anybody have an idea what I can do??? I am new to Linux so help would be greatly appreciated and I would definitely be enthusiastic if someone could spare me the time of reinstalling everything again (cumbersome procedure, my 9.3. disks won`t install by themselves, I have to install 9.2. first and then upgrade it to 9.3; my latest version definitely had ALL available patches and add-ons installed).
Thanks a lot,
Andi
