users cannot log in

I am new to linux.
I use mandrake 9.0.
I must have done something wrong because I cannot login now as a normal user, only as root. If I login as root and start a console and type: chooser username I get this message:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

chooser: cannot connect to X server :0

Why is it so, and what can I do with it?

if possible do a clean install, select the option to format the hard-disks and possibly upgrade to 9.1 or even 9.2. My experience with 9.2 has not been bad at all. I like it better than 9.1
