In lfs users are created later on you should only have user root at the moment.
Adding a new user is carried out in "blfs"
but,it asking username and password. i set hostname like kid it asking like this "kid login:"
and similarly my slackware is not appear in lilo configuration.help me please
sainadh, in chapter "6.25. Shadow" you should have set the root password.
Now, to solve your situation, since you can't boot your other OS (Slackware) either, you can boot from a live image such as SytemRescueCd, grml or GParted Live.
From there you can chroot again into LFS and set the root password with "passwd". You should also edit your lilo.conf and run lilo.

i build LFS on vmware is it safe to continue BLFS?
Yes you can start BLFS. Be aware most of the BLFS book will require the utilities mentioned in the last section of the LFS book to get a working system for you, especially dhclient, lynx, wget, openssl, and ca-certificates.
