I just updated from 9.2 mandrake i think to 10.0 Mandrake. So anways my problem is with ssh. I goto log in through Puddy (windows XP) to my linux box thats right next to me. I type root for my username then it asks for a password. I type the password in and then it says ACCess denied down below.
The password for sure is correct because i log into the machine all the time from the actual physicle machine. its right next to me. Its not making any sense and im getting frusterated. If you can help please do.
and now all of a sudden like after i restarted my comp i cant go into command line only when i press ctr+alt+F1 it goes to the loading screen but never goes into it.
but back to the question. it says yes and it still wont let me login.
