ROOT Username not recognize & Others
Hi!
It's me again he9x. I've had my 40gb harddrive last night partitioned because I'm trying to dual boot windows 2k & Slackware 9.1. First I installed win2k on the first 10gb. Then after setup, reboot & den setup Slackware, I've used all the remaining 30gb for it. Then I used FULL installation of Slackware. The first odd thing that happened is that I didn't encounter the part where it should say that i have a windows partition or that a windows is installed, in my past experiences on this it always prompts for that & it will ask you were to mount it. Then another thing is that when I was about to setup the root password It always says about
"Username not recognized" or something like that & just says Press Enter to continue & then goes back to the Enter Root Password again, with options Yes & No. So after 4 times of trying Yes, I decided not to enter root password because if I choose Yes It wont let me enter it & just the message about the User not recognize is displayed. And then I finished the setup, upon rebooting I CANT LOGIN!! I dont know, I tried to login as root & I just pressed Enter for the password because I didnt enter any password, but it just wont login. I tried to boot the cd again & hoping I could solve the problem by mounting the /dev/hda2 <- root partition & then I go to passwd, I open it & then saw that sshd is the only thing listed there. Then I saw "passwd.new" I open it & then I saw accounts there, & saw the root:x:00 line part. I deleted the 'x' after root: I remember it is the password part Im not sure about it, hoping it would do the trick, but still after rebooting I still can't login, & also the only thing on my LILO menu is Linux, it wont show the Windows OS. Whew! It's the first time I've encountered all of this he9x. Hoping for your replies Sir/Mam. Thank you so much again!!!
